Angela Merkel's policy was recognized as wrong in Germany.
Politics of ex-chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, which she conducted after the annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea by Russia, influenced the fact that Russia unleashed a large-scale war against Ukraine. This was emphasized by the Minister of Justice of Germany, Marko Buschmann, in an interview with Welt.
“As far as we know today, the fact that we Germans pushed through the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline after the annexation of Crimea was our contribution to the development of starting a war in Ukraine,” Bushman believes.
He noted that the policy of reconciliation does not bring anything good, because “the dictator perceives it only as an invitation.”
“We are dealing with dictators who make territorial claims and count on Western democracies to leave them under pressure. At that time, it was believed that it was about Czechoslovakia. Likewise, many believed that it was about Crimea. Or then about Ukraine. But it is not so. Our entire system of values is under attack,” said Bushman.
The minister drew parallels between the events taking place now and 1938, and reminded that Russia had already carried out large-scale destabilization operations in the Baltic states.
It will be recalled that earlier the former Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, said that she does not blame herself for the fact that attempts at a diplomatic solution to the Russian-Ukrainian war did not work. She recalled that in 2008 she spoke against the expansion of NATO to the east, in particular against the inclusion of Ukraine and Georgia in the Alliance, because otherwise Putin could cause “huge damage” to Ukraine.
