Europe Rebukes Germany’s Putin Call

European officials, led by Lithuania’s Gabrielius Landsbergis and Poland’s PM Mateusz Morawiecki, slammed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for his recent phone chat with Putin, labeling it a 'strange strategy.' Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warned the call might bolster Putin instead of fostering peace. Amid Putin's ultimatum to NATO over territorial claims, Europe grapples with balancing diplomatic talks and robust support for Ukraine, ensuring negotiations don’t turn into cozy chats over coffee.
