Amid ongoing tensions, Ukraine's potential NATO membership and territorial concessions are crucial discussion points, according to Germany's Defence Minister, Boris Pistorius. Speaking on Thursday, Pistorius highlighted the necessity of keeping these topics on the table for forthcoming peace negotiations with Russia.

Pistorius expressed regret over the U.S. administration's early concessions to Russia before formal talks commenced. His remarks suggest that preemptive decisions might undermine broader strategic discussions essential for maintaining and securing stability in the region.

The German minister's comments underscore a call for comprehensive dialogue, where all alternatives are considered, rather than unilateral concessions that could potentially skew negotiation outcomes.
