Ukraine said on Friday that phone conversations with Vladimir Putin brought no added value on the path to achieving a "just peace" in Ukraine, after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke to the Russian leader.
"For more than two decades, Putin has used lengthy conversations as a resource to advance his interests. Currently, conversations only give Putin hope of weakening international isolation," the foreign ministry's spokesman, Heorhii Tykhyi, said in a statement.
