Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel had a phone conversation on Thursday, the Kremlin press service reported.

The conversation was Merkel’s initiative, the press service reported.

Putin and Merkel had a detailed discussion about various aspects of the crisis in Syria, the report says.

“Both parties are operating on the assumption that active work on issues relating to the political and diplomatic settlement of the current situation will continue in the UN and in other formats. Specifically, they pointed out the importance of discussing in the Security Council the UN inspectors’ report on possible evidence of chemical weapons use in Syria,” the Kremlin said.
