VTV.vn - German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday he was unhappy about the state of relations between Moscow and Berlin and that both sides needed to work to improve it.

The first visit to Russia by a German president since 2010 happened as relations remain strained over Crimea's joining the Russian Federation in 2014. Steinmeier, a Social Democrat who previously served as foreign minister, has long called for increased engagement with Moscow. Russia President Putin for his part welcomed the gesture, expressing his hope that the two sides will work towards improving bilateral relations.
