BERLIN: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has confirmed his intention to hold a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but stated that he does not plan to do so without coordinating it with partners.
"Yes, I am going to talk to the Russian president in due time," he said in an interview with the ARD TV channel. "But I will not do it unilaterally.

When asked when the conversation might take place, he said it is expected "in the near future."
