"We are moving the peace process forward. Transparency and honesty are now required from everyone – including Russia," Merz stressed.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk also spoke of positive signals after the talks, Sky News reports. According to him, there are reasons to believe that the war may end sooner than expected.
"Peace is on the horizon. There is no doubt that things have happened that give reason to hope that this war may end, and quite quickly," Tusk said.
