High-Stakes Putin-Scholz Phone Call After Two Years: Kremlin Reveals 'Detailed, Frank' Talk Details
In a rare and high-stakes diplomatic exchange, Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reconnected for the first time in nearly two years, engaging in a detailed and frank hour-long conversation.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov characterised the call as a candid discussion where both leaders outlined their positions on the Ukraine conflict.
Putin, speaking in Russian through a translator despite his German proficiency, reiterated Moscow’s demands for Ukraine’s neutrality, demilitarisation, and the recognition of Russian-annexed territories.
Scholz, facing a political crisis at home, pressed for a withdrawal of Russian troops and reaffirmed Germany’s strong support for Ukraine.
The timing of the call, coinciding with key international events, marks a pivotal moment in Russia-Germany relations as diplomatic tensions continue to mount.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that his phone call to the Russian president on Friday would only serve to make Vladimir Putin feel less isolated.

In one of the deadliest attacks in months, Russian forces launched a devastating assault on Ukraine using 120 drones and 90 missiles, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The attack, which targeted key infrastructure across Ukrainian cities, is being described as the most intense bombardment in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials confirmed that various types of drones, including Iranian-made Shaheds, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, were deployed in the strike. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Ukrainian defenses were able to shoot down 140 air targets, but the attack caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure and left dozens injured. In Mykolaiv, two people were killed and six others injured, including two children, when a drone hit the city. In Odesa, another strike caused widespread destruction, killing two and disrupting power and water supplies in the region.

Democratic Senators Jack Reed and Jeanne Shaheen have called for an investigation into Elon Musk's alleged communications with Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin. The senators cite Wall Street Journal reports claiming Musk had contact with Putin in 2023. They expressed concerns given Musk's government contracts through SpaceX and his security clearance. The Kremlin denied these claims, stating Musk and Putin only spoke once before 2022.

U.S is inaugurating a new NATO missile defense base in Redzikowo, Poland, 150km from Russia's Kaliningrad Region. This second Eastern European base joins NATO's broader missile shield system. Kremlin spokesman Peskov denounced it as containment of Russian military potential, promising countermeasures. While Poland celebrates strong US alliance, Russia maintains NATO's expansion threatens its security and denies aggressive intentions toward Western Europe.

The Kremlin has strongly refuted recent claims suggesting that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken in recent days, calling the reports "pure fiction." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the allegations, which had been reported by The Washington Post and Reuters, labelling them as a "complete lie." According to these reports, Trump had supposedly urged Putin not to escalate the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Peskov mocked the rumours, describing the information as "false" and criticised the quality of such reports being published by reputable outlets. He further stated that, as of now, there were no concrete plans for Putin to engage in talks with Trump, despite earlier reports hinting at potential discussions between the two leaders.

In a stunning turn of events, Russia has refused to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov made it clear that Russian President Vladimir Putin had no plans to offer congratulations to the former U.S. president, citing the current hostile relationship between the two nations, exacerbated by U.S. support for Ukraine. While Russia remains open to dialogue, the Kremlin is watching closely for any changes in U.S. foreign policy once Trump officially takes office.

In a fiery exchange reflecting the deepening rift between Kyiv and Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov labelled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's recent remarks as “delusional.” This statement came in response to Zelensky's assertion during his address to the UN Security Council that Moscow could be forced into peace on Ukraine’s terms. Peskov vehemently rejected this notion, warning that attempting to coerce Russia into peace is a "fatal mistake" that will have serious repercussions for Ukraine.
