Chancellor Scholz promised to continue contacts with Putin and Zelensky

He stated this at a joint press conference with Serbian leader Aleksandar Vučić.

“It was important to have negotiations both with the Ukrainian president – ​​I was in Kyiv and had detailed discussions with him, and with the Russian president – ​​I was in Moscow before the start of the war and also held negotiations there.

Of course, I will continue them, ”the chancellor said, quoted by TASS.

"The situation is as it is," he said, urging "no illusions about what is happening."

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron held talks with Putin.

The President of Russia drew Macron's attention to the fact that the member countries of the European Union ignored the war crimes of the Ukrainian security forces.
