Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Friedrich Merz don&#8217;t talk about this publicly,&#8221; Gardt emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that his strategic goal for Ukraine is to restore the state&#8217;s internationally recognized borders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As is well known, Ukraine does not lay claim to a single square centimeter of Russian territory, but only defends its own land and its citizens. This includes, in particular, the return of the abducted children whom Vladimir Putin took to Russia. Therefore, in this sense, I say: Ukraine must win this war,&#8221; the speaker noted.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hardt, Ukraine could also make some concessions if they would help achieve peace. He added that Germany would support any decision Kyiv makes. At the same time, the primary goal remains the expulsion of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/tramp-vykliuchyv-viyskovu-dopomohu-ukraini-z-biudzhetu-ssha-na-2027-rik\/\">, Pryamyi reported<\/a> that the Pentagon confirmed that the Trump administration did not include funding for military aid to Ukraine under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative in the draft defense budget for fiscal year 2027. If Congress does not amend the budget, 2027 could be the first year in a decade without funding for this program.<\/p>\n<p>Also <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/merts-zrobyv-novi-zaiavy-pro-viyskovu-dopomohu-partnerstvo-z-ukrainoiu-ta-pozyku-yes-detali\/\">on April 14, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz held a press conference<\/a> with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which the parties announced the elevation of bilateral relations to the level of strategic partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Also follow <strong>&#8220;Pryamy&#8221;<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discussions between Ukraine and Germany regarding the transfer of Taurus missiles are still ongoing.
