Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has strongly criticized German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling it an attempt to weaken Russia’s international isolation.
“This is exactly what Putin has been wanting for a long time: normal negotiations that achieve nothing but diminish Russia's isolation,” Zelensky said. The conversation, which marked Scholz’s first dialogue with Putin in two years, has sparked backlash from Ukraine and European allies, who view it as a misstep in holding Russia accountable.
Scholz urged Putin to end the war and negotiate a “just and lasting peace” with Ukraine, while the Kremlin insisted on considering “new territorial realities.” The call comes as Scholz faces domestic political pressure ahead of Germany’s February elections and as President-elect Donald Trump signals potential changes in U.S. support for Ukraine.
Ukraine argues that such dialogues with Putin do not contribute to peace but rather embolden Russia’s aggression. With the future of international support for Ukraine uncertain, Zelensky warns that actions like Scholz’s call risk undermining global unity against Russia.
