He said this during a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Kyiv, RBC-Ukraine reports.
According to Zelenskyy, he knew that Olaf Scholz would call Putin. He also told the German chancellor his opinion on the matter.
‘After one conversation, there is a second, third, fifth conversation, because sometimes people want to take over the leadership. And I believe that this may simply be a case of a wave of recognition of Putin's authority. I think that this does not strengthen Ukraine. This is my opinion. But, as I said, we have much more in common with Germany than we have differences,’ the Ukrainian leader said.
- On Friday, November 15, Scholz and Russian leader Vladimir Putin had their first telephone conversation in two years.
- Olaf Scholz commented on his first phone conversation with Russia's Vladimir Putin in two years.
