Merz also sharply criticized the U.S. decision to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to December’s G20 summit in Miami, saying the move is shutting Ukraine out of talks about its own fate. “If President Trump were to decide to invite the Russian president, then Ukraine must be the first topic of discussion,” Merz said. “And if Ukraine is discussed, then the president of Ukraine must be seated at…
