Chancellor Olaf Scholz ( SPD ) wants to call Russia's President Vladimir Putin again this afternoon.
This was announced by government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit. With regard to the conflict in Ukraine , Hebestreit spoke of an "extremely dangerous situation". The planned talks between Scholz and Putin are closely linked to international efforts to defuse the conflict over the Russian troop deployment on the Ukrainian border.
Biden has meanwhile asked French President Emmanuel Macron to submit his offer of a summit to Putin. "We are slowly changing the course of things," says an advisor to Marcon in Paris. "We are creating a diplomatic perspective that the Kremlin can accept."
With regard to Macron's role in this, the advisor says: "He is a mediator."
At the subsequent press conference, he emphasized that it was the "duty" of the negotiating parties to work out a diplomatic solution.
At the same time, he presented the possible fulfillment of one of Russia's key demands - Ukraine's non-admission to NATO - as an option.
Ukraine's NATO membership is not a question that he believes will arise "during our terms of office," he said, referring to his and Putin's office.
