Scholz calls phone call with putin frustrating, but will call again
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that he is ready for further negotiations with the president of the aggressor country, russia, vladimir putin, despite the previous frustrating phone call.
His words are quoted by the Aachener Zeitung.
Scholz said that the conversation with putin was unpleasant because he repeated all his narratives again.
"Nevertheless, the phone call was necessary to make it clear to Putin that he could not hope that German support for the attacked Ukraine would diminish, and to call on him to also withdraw troops so that the basis can be created for peace development," Scholz explained.
The German Chancellor stressed that he will call again, but that there should be no illusions about this.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on November 15, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had a telephone conversation with russian dictator vladimir putin, the first direct communication between Scholz and putin in almost two years.
On November 26, Scholz said that the telephone conversation with putin "was not pleasant."
On November 29, Scholz told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy the details of his call to russian dictator putin.
