'Talking To Putin Frustrating': Germany Scholz Ready to Face ‘Dangerous’ Putin Again But...|Details

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.

Scholz Fires Back at Musk's Support for Right-Wing AfD: ‘...Not for Social Media Moguls to Decide’

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his New Year’s Eve address, took a veiled swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk for his vocal support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Scholz warned that Germany's future would not be shaped by the influence of social media moguls, emphasizing that decisions about the nation's direction should lie with the citizens, not external figures. In a pointed remark, Scholz stated that, despite the growing attention garnered by extreme opinions, the vast majority of reasonable and decent people will ultimately determine the course of the country. The Chancellor’s comments came in response to Musk’s controversial endorsement of AfD, which has drawn criticism from German officials for its extremist views. #ScholzVsMusk #MuskAfDControversy #GermanyFuture #SocialMediaInfluence #OlafScholz #AfDEndorsement #PoliticalUnity #ScholzSpeech #MuskCriticism #Germany2025 #ScholzVsMusk2025 #SocialMediaPolitics #RightWingAfD #MuskInGermany #GermanyDebates
