German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke for the first time in nearly two years, according to reports from German media. The hour-long call took place after Scholz hinted at the possibility of communication with Putin, stating it would occur at the ‘right time.’ Prior to the call, Scholz coordinated with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with whom he spoke just two days earlier. This conversation marks a notable moment in diplomatic relations between Germany and Russia amid ongoing tensions.
