Putin and Merkel last met in Germany in October for talks aimed at reviving the peace process in eastern Ukraine. Tuesday’s meeting comes amid tensions over Germany’s support for the sanctions imposed on Russia for its aggression in Ukraine. Putin, however, appears eager to improve ties. He told Germany’s foreign minister during a recent visit that it is “our common goal to fully normalise relations and to make sure all the difficulties we face are overcome.”
