German Chancellor Olaf Sholz also spoke with the Russian leader and believes his “attitude hasn’t changed.”
“Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that he has now come to realise that it was a mistake to start this war, and there is no indication that new attitudes are now emerging…
It is still right to talk to each other and to say what I have to say on these issues from my point of view, because I am strongly convinced that Russia must withdraw … so that peace has a chance in the region, and every day it becomes clearer that this is the only chance. We have to talk about that, and that is what I have done.”
