Dmitry Peskov has commented on whether the Russian president is ready to speak to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has always said that he is open to talks with European leaders, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.
\nThe remark came shortly after the second day of trilateral Russia-US-Ukraine talks ended in Abu Dhabi. European representatives, who traveled to the UAE to meet separately with Ukrainian and US delegates, have not been included in the negotiations.
\nThe Russian president has not yet decided whether he will attend the next G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit, Peskov said. The event is scheduled for December 14-15 in Florida, US.
\n\u201cPutin has always maintained, and continues to maintain, that he is open to contact with everyone, including the Europeans,\u201d he said, adding that this includes German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
\nMerz has recently suggested that long-frozen Berlin-Moscow contacts could be renewed at the upcoming G20 summit.
\n\u201cIf [Putin] is there, I will not shy away from the opportunity to talk to him,\u201d the German chancellor said last week.<\/p>\n
