President Putin and Chancellor Merkel met for talks at Brandenburg castle in Germany at the weekend. During the summit, the two leaders jaw-jawed on a range of issues which included Syria, Ukraine and the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
At the talks, President Putin made it clear that Europe should help rebuild President Assad’s Syria to allow refugees to return home and to prevent new flows of migrants.
On Ukraine, Mrs Merkel pressed Mr Putin to accept the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping force to monitor a ceasefire between Ukrainian military forces and Russia backed separatists in the Donbass region.
The two leaders also discussed the controversial Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, which has been heavily criticised by President Trump and East European countries.
