The Kremlin spoke about the agenda of the talks between Putin and Scholz

Russian President Vladimir PutinMOSCOW, Feb. 14 Emphasis on talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the chancellor Germany Olaf Scholz will be on the situation around Ukraine, security guarantees and Nord Stream 2, said the press secretary of the Russian head of state Dmitry Peskov. On February 14, Scholz will visit Kiev and meet with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. The day after the talks with Zelensky, Scholz will head to Moscow to meet with the Russian president. In Germany, they had a skirmish over Nord Stream 2. «Both this, and the other, and the third,» Peskov said, answering a question from journalists on what topics the negotiations will focus on: on the situation around Ukraine, on the «Northern flow 2» or on security guarantees. As the presidential press secretary noted, the chancellor will visit Moscow on a working visit. «He will have a conversation with Putin. A working breakfast. And they will negotiate,» Peskov added. The West accuses the Russian Federation of alleged plans for escalation situation around Ukraine. Moscow categorically denies this and constantly says that no one is threatened, and all such statements are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier, Russia does not create any pretexts for a conflict situation around Ukraine. According to him, Russia does not rule out that the hysteria around Ukraine, hyped by the West, is aimed at covering Kiev's line of sabotaging the Minsk agreements on Donbass. According to Peskov, the information hysteria of the US and NATO over Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes.
