Russian President Vladimir Putin he had a telephone conversation with the incumbent Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel. The parties continued to discuss the situation on Belarus' borders with the countries of the European Union. They reaffirmed the importance of resolving this acute migration crisis as soon as possible, in line with international humanitarian standards. And the parties exchanged views on Ukraine's internal conflict. The Russian leader drew attention to the destructive policy of Kiev, which is increasingly betting on force methods, including drones. It uses them in violation of the Minsk package of measures.
They also noted the destabilizing and dangerous nature of the provocative activities of the US Armed Forces and a number of other NATO countries in the Black Sea.

Putin and Merkel discussed the situation on the EU-Belarus border on Wednesday. And maybe. The chancellor noted that during this conversation she asked Putin to influence Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. The Russian leader again proposed to base the discussion on the problem of the migration crisis on the contacts of EU member states with Minsk.
The Russian president's press secretary later answered a question about the possibility of a second telephone conversation between Putin and Merkel's border.
