Merz Suggests Ukraine May Need to Accept Territorial Losses for EU Membership
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz suggested Ukraine may need to accept territorial losses in a future peace deal with Russia to secure EU membership. Speaking in Marsberg, Merz said Zelensky could frame such a decision by telling Ukrainians he had 'opened the path to Europe.' Merz dismissed Zelensky's target of January 1, 2027 for EU membership as unrealistic, stating even 2028 is unlikely. The EU's accession criteria require no unresolved border disputes, while Russia demands Ukrainian troop withdrawals from Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye regions.
