German and Russian leaders might talk tomorrow - first time in 2 years

Bloomberg news-agency reports that Olaf Scholz and Vladimir Putin plan a phone-call tomorrow; their first direct contact in about two years (since late-2022)

German chancellors office hasnt confirmed this info yet‚ when asked by Reuters news-agency to comment on the planned talk

Last month‚ German foreign-minister Annalena Baerbock shared some info about previous peace-talk attempts: the Russian leader showed no interest in discussing Ukraine situation with Scholz. She pointed out Putins rejection of various talk proposals; which made any peace-talks impossible

The reported upcoming call might be a sign of changing diplomatic dynamics — but experts say its too early to make any conclusions about possible outcomes
