  "account": "Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz has pledged an additional 200 million euros in winter aid to Ukraine and intends to organize further support at a summit in Berlin in two weeks. \"We will continue our assistance until this war is over,\" Chancellor Merz assured during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj in Berlin. Both emphasized the need for Europeans to participate in upcoming talks aimed at ending the Russian aggression. \"Without the Europeans in some format at the negotiations, there can be no stable peace,\" President Zelenskyj stated. Next week, a new round of direct talks between Ukraine and Russia will take place in Abu Dhabi following mediation by the United States. The extent to which Europeans will be involved remains unclear. \"Europe must and wants to play a role in this process,\" Chancellor Merz stressed. Germany is the main supporter of Ukraine. Merz repeatedly emphasized that the outcome of the war would shape European security for a long time. The additional winter aid is intended to be used for humanitarian aid and energy supply security, with half coming from the Foreign Office and the Development Ministry. The Bundestag still needs to approve the 200-million-euro package. The \"Coalition of the Willing\" will meet in Berlin on November 19 to support Ukraine. The group includes about 35 countries. The summit will primarily focus on additional military aid for Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression. Chancellor Merz emphasized that Germany could not shoulder the burden of supporting Ukraine alone. \"All Europeans bear responsibility, not just the Germans.\" Ukraine seeks a partial ceasefire and prisoner exchange during the upcoming talks with Russia. President Zelenskyj mentioned three priorities: a ceasefire during attacks on energy supply and other critical infrastructure, an end to the blockade of grain transport through the Black Sea, and a prisoner exchange involving all parties.",
