"Something bothers me more than the talks: He (Putin) is not complaining about all the sanctions. I don’t know if he did that in conversation with you. But he didn’t even mention the sanctions.”

This is from the translation that you posted ^ "what particularly tormented scholz" is that putin didn't complain about the sanctions. It is answered in the article. Is the headline sensationalized? yes. But thats typical journalism for you if you stop posting sensationalized headlines there won't be any news on lemmy.
