German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visits Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett holds talks with Bahrain’s crown prince, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invokes emergency powers amid truck protests, APA reports citing Foreign Policy.

Olaf Scholz becomes the latest Western leader to come face to face with Vladimir Putin today as he heads to Moscow. Scholz’s meeting comes a day after he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, telling reporters that Ukraine’s prospective NATO membership was not on the agenda.

The meeting also comes as Russia appeared to offer its own off-ramps as senior officials met with Putin on Monday.
