The leader of the CDU party does not rule out that he could hold a telephone conversation with the Russian leader if he is elected to the post of head of the German government. The politician stated this in an interview with Funke Media Group, NBN writes with reference to n-tv.
Scholz's competitor said that he would call the Kremlin dictator only when there was a chance to get closer to a peaceful settlement. He criticized the German chancellor for talking with the head of the Russian Federation, calling the negotiations “well-orchestrated.”
Merz noted that the head of the German government wanted to know about Putin's readiness to withdraw occupation troops from Ukrainian territory. The dictator's “response” was to intensify the bombing of Kyiv.
Recall that Scholz called the Russian leader in November last year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that negotiations between foreign leaders and the head of the Kremlin could become a “wave of recognition” of Putin, which would harm our country.
