According to the president, Scholz told him that he plans to call Putin.
"Olaf's call, in my opinion, is a Pandora's box. Now there could be other conversations, other calls. Just a lot of words. And this is exactly what Putin has long wanted: it is crucial for him to weaken his isolation. The isolation of Russia. And to engage in negotiations, ordinary negotiations, that will lead nowhere. Just as he has done for decades," noted Zelensky.
The president emphasized that this "allowed Russia to change nothing in its policy."
"To essentially do nothing, and this is precisely what led to this war. We understand all these challenges now. We know how to act. And we want to warn: there will be no 'Minsk-3', we need a real peace," Zelensky summarized.
