BERLIN, Nov 15 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin are due to hold a phone call on Friday, Bloomberg reported.
The leaders last spoke directly in December 2022.
The German government did not immediately comment when contacted by Reuters.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said last month that Putin was not willing to speak to Scholz about brokering peace in Ukraine, and criticised him for rejecting overtures for talks.
