Putin Says He's Ready to Talk

[CHIMO]

In Germany for a two-day visit, Vladimir Putin said he's ready to work with the EU about the Chechnya conflict and is prepared to answer questions about delicate subjects like Ukraine and press freedom.

Chancellor Gerhard Schröder met Russian President in Hamburg on Monday, the first day of a two-day visit that was initially planned to take place in September but was postponed due to the Beslan hostage crisis.

On Monday evening, after talks with Schröder, Putin told reporters Russia is prepared to work with Germany and the European Union toward finding a solution for the conflict in Chechnya.

He said his government had received "suggestions for a greater participation of Germany and the EU" for "settlement of the Chechnya problem." He said the suggestions had been scrutinized closely in Moscow.
