Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met in Moscow on the 15th (local time) to discuss ways to ease tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
At a press conference after the meeting, Putin asked himself, “Do we want war?” and said, “Of course not. This is why we came up with the negotiation proposal during the negotiation process.”
“The diplomatic possibilities have not been exhausted at all,” Scholz said.
“It is possible to find a solution. No matter how difficult and serious the situation seems, I refuse to say there is no hope,” he added.
