It is noted that one of the topics of conversation was the war in Ukraine. In particular, the German chancellor called on the Russian dictator to finally start negotiations with the aim of establishing a “firm and just peace”. In addition, Scholz condemned Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine and called on Putin to withdraw his troops.

As the publication writes, the very fact that a conversation took place between them benefits both leaders.

According to reports from Moscow, Scholz has been asking for a phone call for a long time. Now that the talks with Putin are finally over, the German politician can start the election campaign as a caring “chancellor of peace”.

The publication notes that the Sarah Wagenkhnet Union (BSW) has long denied the status of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) as a party of peace. However, Scholz can now tell Wagenkhnet that while she is just chatting, he is talking to Putin.

Scholz can also send a signal to Friedrich Merz that while Merz wants to deliver Taurus missiles, he is already negotiating.

But as Zeit emphasizes, despite the whole situation, it notes that Putin directly benefits from this conversation.

In particular, for two and a half years, the Russian dictator disrupted possible negotiations with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, but at the same time his troops continued to advance. He stated that he was generally ready for negotiations, but only on his own terms.

Now, as the newspaper writes, Putin can present the conversation with Scholz as proof of his readiness for negotiations. In addition, other European politicians will also be forced to make a phone call. Before that, negotiations with the US President-elect Donald Trump are expected.

Thus, after almost three years of war, Putin is seeking a ceasefire on his own terms.
