“We talked for a long time with President Putin, we did not miss a single topic, neither complex nor simple.

Cultural issues, economic issues.

Of course, many topics are around European security and Ukraine.

The fact that we have been talking to each other for so long is a good sign,” he said on N24.

The German Chancellor also added that he spoke with the Russian President in a friendly atmosphere and held intensive and confidential negotiations with him.

On February 15, negotiations between Putin and Scholz took place in Moscow.

Their meeting lasted over three hours.

The Russian leader noted that Russia seeks to negotiate diplomatically with Western allies on issues of security guarantees.
