‘No Summit, Only Blood…’ German Chancellor Merz DROPS Bombshell On Putin-Zelensky Summit [Video]

‘No Summit, Only Blood…’ German Chancellor Merz DROPS Bombshell On Putin-Zelensky Summit

The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point. #Putin #Zelensky #Trump #UkraineWar #RussiaStrike #KyivAttack #PeaceSummit #DroneStrikes #NATO #Moscow #EuropeCrisis #Geopolitics #Merz #Macron #Lavrov #UkraineRussiaWar #BreakingNews #GlobalConflict #Missiles #WorldNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.194~
