German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Sunday that the allegations made by a lawmaker from the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Roderich Kiesewetter, about his supposedly upcoming trip to Moscow are false, calling such rumors “deeply indecent.”
On Saturday, Kiesewetter said on X that Scholz might travel to Moscow and meet Russian President Vladimir Putin before February 23, while US President-elect Donald Trump’s meeting with Putin had been scheduled for March. He did not provide any sources of information.
“This is a false statement,” Scholz was quoted as saying at his party’s meeting by the RND media group.
