German Chancellor Olaf Scholz discussed on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin how to end the war in Ukraine. This was reported by a person familiar with the situation who wished to remain unnamed, UNN reports citing Bloomberg.
As reported UNN, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz held a telephone conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin for the first time in almost two years. The conversation lasted about an hour.
The last time the leaders communicated directly was in December 2022.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock said last month that Putin was unwilling to talk to Scholz about brokering peace in Ukraine and criticized him for rejecting initiatives for talks.
