German foreign minister says Geneva talks produced ‘decisive success’ for Europeans

BERLIN: German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Monday that talks between the United States and Ukraine in Geneva on amending a 28-point plan to end the war with Russia had produced a “decisive success” for Europeans.

“All issues concerning Europe, including those concerning NATO, have been removed from this plan - this is a decisive success that we achieved yesterday,” Wadephul told Deutschlandfunk radio.

“It was clear from the outset, as we have repeatedly said, that any agreement must not be reached over the heads of Europeans and Ukrainians,” he added.
