This first formal exchange in two years is also the first between a Western leader and the head of the Kremlin since the latter established contact with President-elect Donald Trump. The conversation, motivated by the early German elections in February 2025, during which the Social Democrat wants to appear as the chancellor of peace, angered the Ukrainian president.

Ce premier échange formel depuis deux ans est aussi le premier entre un dirigeant occidental et le chef du Kremlin depuis que ce dernier a établi le contact avec le président élu Donald Trump.
