Germany’s Scholz Open to More Talks With Putin Despite ‘Frustration’

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is willing to engage with Russian President Vladimir Putin again, despite last month's "frustrating" talks. 📞🇩🇪🇷🇺

In their first discussion in nearly two years, Scholz urged the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine and called for negotiations with Kyiv. However, Putin emphasized that any ceasefire must address Russia's security interests and territorial claims.

“It was frustrating,” Scholz noted, “because he just repeated all his formulas again.”
