Germany is set to take part in upcoming peace talks about the war in Ukraine. This will be the first time that Europe is officially represented at the table during these discussions. Friedrich Merz, a top German politician, confirmed that Germany will be a guaranteed participant in the talks.

At the same time, Russia has sent a message to European leaders. Moscow says that if Europe wants a seat at the table, it needs to choose one single person to represent them.

Merz is also looking ahead to the future. He has reached out to Donald Trump, asking for 'no surprises' when it comes to talks between the American leader and Vladimir Putin. Merz wants to make sure that European interests are not left out if and when the U.S. and Russia hold their own private discussions.

In other news today, international leaders also met to discuss the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, noting how quickly the technology is changing the world.
