German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said he expects the United States to remain actively engaged in the Ukraine negotiations, underscoring Berlin’s reliance on Washington to drive the talks forward.
"I expect that the US will continue to be prepared to play an active role in the negotiations with Ukraine," the minister said during his visit to Kiev, as quoted by the DPA news agency.
Wadephul claimed that he intended to discuss further diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The minister noted that the EU3 countries — Germany, France, and the United Kingdom — should also try every possible means to initiate negotiations and be prepared to take "unusual paths" to launch the negotiation process.
The German foreign minister arrived in Kiev on Saturday morning. The Deutschlandfunk broadcaster said that Wadephul intended to hold talks on technical and economic cooperation between the two countries. The minister will address the joint development of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in June that Moscow expected to continue dialogue with the United States on Ukraine after the active phase of the confrontation between Washington and Iran ends. Russia is ready to continue negotiations and discuss all the details and issues raised at the meeting in Anchorage in August 2025, Putin added.
