WATCH LIVE — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz speaks to lawmakers before a confidence vote in parliament
Monday, 16 December 2024 () German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called a confidence vote following the collapse of his coalition government. He is likely to lose the vote, paving the way for elections in February. DW has the latest.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has expressed his readiness to engage in further dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite finding previous talks “frustrating.” Scholz, who had a phone conversation with Putin for the first time in nearly a year, reiterated Germany’s strong support for Ukraine and called for peace. However, the chancellor described the call as frustrating, as Putin continued to stand firm on his position regarding the war. Scholz emphasized that any future conversations would likely involve repeating Germany's demands. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Scholz’s willingness to engage with Putin, warning that it could undermine Western efforts to isolate Russia. This comes as Scholz’s leadership faces increasing pressure, following the collapse of his coalition government, with a confidence vote scheduled in the German parliament next week.
