German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has welcomed a trip by Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Deputy spokesperson Christiane Hoffmann said in Berlin on Monday.
Hoffmann said that Scholz was in favour of “any diplomatic efforts aimed at bringing an end to the fighting in Ukraine and creating basic conditions for negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.’’
On the question of whether Scholz would also be travelling to Moscow at some point, she said.
“I don’t see any plans at the moment in this regard.’’

Opposition politicians and Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, have tried to pressure Scholz as one of the Western leaders.
The pressure was to have talked most often with Putin over the phone during the conflict to visit Moscow, or indeed Kiev, in person.
