Speaking of the recent phone conversation between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Duda said he doubts the call had been agreed with other [NATO] allies.
“I think it's a self-initiated action by Chancellor Scholz. Perhaps Germany is looking for an opportunity to establish contact. As the German press points out, the chancellor's office, the chancellor are looking for a way to reach agreement with Russia to return to energy contracts and again be able to purchase energy commodities from Russia,” said the Polish President.
According to Duda, Poland is a long-standing opponent of a solution like that, having been protesting those actions for years.
