According to the Kremlin, the talks were about negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Before the NATO, EU and G7 summits on the Russian attack on Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) called Russia’s President Vladimir Putin again.

The conversation was about the ongoing negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, the Kremlin said in Moscow. Putin explained a “series of considerations related to the main positions of the Russian Federation”. No details were given.

During the phone call, Scholz urged that “a ceasefire be reached as soon as possible and the humanitarian situation improved,” said the spokesman for the federal government, Steffen Hebestreit, later. Afterwards, Scholz spoke to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj. “They agreed to remain in close contact,” said the government’s statement.

The summit will take place this Thursday in Brussels.
