Russian President Vladimir Putin will surely send a congratulatory message to newly-appointed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier appointed Scholz from the Social Democratic party as the country's new chancellor.
"I am not sure about a telephone conversation but, surely, the president will send a congratulatory message," Peskov told reporters.
There have been no contacts with the new chancellor and his team yet, he added. (ANI/Sputnik)
