German Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 18 at the government residence Mezeberg.

This was told by the representative of the government of Germany Steffen Seibert. According to him, the main topics of the talks will be issues of bilateral relations, as well as solving problems in Syria.

In addition, politicians will discuss the problems of the Ukrainian conflict and energy cooperation between the countries. "One can never say for sure what will be discussed at a meeting of this level," Zaiberta quotes RIA Novosti as saying.. Recall that the last meeting between Merkel and Putin took place in May. During the talks, the Russian head unexpectedly presented a bouquet of flowers to the Chancellor. At the same time, journalists considered this not a sign of sympathy, but a hidden insult.
