Sholtz was offered a "peaceful" initiative regarding the war in Ukraine

The leader of the SPD faction proposes to create an international contact group whose members would be China, India, Turkey and Brazil.

The leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) faction in the Bundestag, Rolf Mützenich, suggested creating an international contact group for a peace initiative regarding the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine. This is reported by Tagesschau.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "agree that now is the time to step up efforts to hold peace talks and that Russia should also be present at the next peace summit," the politician said.

"This will also make it possible for other countries to take a more active part in the cessation of hostilities," Mützenich thinks.

According to him, possible members of the contact group could be China, India, Turkey and Brazil.
