EU-RUSSIA

Russia's state-run RIA reporting that President Vladimir Putin held a phone call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

  • Putin said to have told Scholz that Kyiv is trying to stall peace negotiations, and that the Zelensky gov't is making 'unrealistic proposals'. Did say that Russia would be willing to continue talks, though.
  • Putin said to have told Scholz that 'Russia is looking for solutions in line with its main strategy'.
  • So far, talks between Putin and European leaders have proved relatively fruitless in terms of outcome. Russia has sought to criticise European states and the EU less than the United States, but given EU's vociferous support for Ukraine, any of its members are unlikely to be viewed as acceptable interlocutors by Moscow.
