Details: In particular, Putin told the German chancellor that he had unleashed a full-scale war against Ukraine because of NATO's "long-term aggressive policy aimed at creating an anti-Russian bridgehead on Ukrainian territory".

He also claimed that he had never refused to negotiate a peaceful settlement, but on Russia's terms, "taking into account the new territorial realities".

Putin also lamented the "degradation" of relations between Russia and Germany due to the "unfriendly course" of the authorities in Berlin.

"It was agreed that following the conversation, the leaders’ assistants would be in touch," the Kremlin concluded.

Background:

• It was reported that Scholz called Putin on Friday, condemned Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and insisted that Putin should be ready for negotiations and to withdraw his troops.
• It was reported that Scholz spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before speaking with Putin and plans to call him again after the conversation with the Russian ruler.
