MOSCOW. Feb 16 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has had constructive talks with both French President Emmanuel Macron and German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz despite different durations of their dialogue, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"It was a rather frank, constructive, businesslike conversation [with Scholz]. The duration of a conversation can hardly measure their content, and the talks with both President Macron and Chancellor Scholz were businesslike and quite constructive," Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.
Journalists asked Peskov how he would describe the Putin-Scholz talks and why they were shorter than Putin's talks with Macron.
Putin and Macron had over five hours of talks in Moscow on February 7.
Putin met with Scholz in the Kremlin on February 15. Their talks lasted for over three hours.
