Berlin – Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) wants to call Russian President Vladimir Putin again because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The talks will take place later in the afternoon, government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit announced on Monday in Berlin. The conversation was closely coordinated with French President Emmanuel Macron and will also revolve around a possible summit with Putin and US President Joe Biden. The initiative for this came from Macron, who had called Putin twice and Biden once on Sunday.
The federal government welcomes the fact that Biden has offered a direct meeting with Putin, Hebestreit said. It is hoped that the Russian side will accept this offer. “Now it would be important to make the necessary preparations so that such a summit can take place as soon as possible.” (dpa)
