"That is a false claim. That is deeply indecent," Scholz said at an event of his Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Berlin, RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND) reported Sunday.
He added that there is "no evidence whatsoever" that such a meeting had even been considered.
Earlier, Kiesewetter wrote in a post on X that "we must prepare ourselves for an election campaign surprise. There are increasing indications that Chancellor Scholz will travel to Moscow or meet Putin before February 23."
He later deleted the post.
Noting that legal action is being considered in response to Kiesewetter’s post, government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit told RND that the claim was "defamatory."
