It seems that Putin's friend considers the surrender of Ukraine to be the best end of the war unleashed by the Russian Federation.
Ex-German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder even in the light Russia's war against Ukraine is not going to give up the possibility of personal communication with Putin. He stated this in an interview with the newspaper FAZ, which should be published on July 11, DW reports.
Schroeder emphasized that he does not believe in the possibility of resolving the conflict by military means. According to him, “the fate of soldiers and the civilian population in Ukraine can be alleviated only with the help of a diplomatic solution”. >
On the first day of the war, the former head of the German government condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine. “The war and the related suffering of people in Ukraine must be stopped as soon as possible. This is the responsibility of the Russian government,” Schroeder wrote on LinkedIn. Perhaps now he began to think a little differently.
As previously reported, the Bundestag believes that Germany's dependence on Russia was deliberately shaped by Chancellors Schroeder and Merkel over the past 16-20 years.
We will also remind that former German Chancellor Schröder, who from September 29, 2017 to May 21, 2022 held the position of chairman of the board of directors of Rosneft PJSC, in Germany subsidized by almost half a million euro. The Bundestag decided that state support for Putin's friend is of no use.
… And recently German Economy and Energy Minister Robert Habeck said the following in an interview with the media : “Germans take an average 10-minute shower, and I think even five minutes is too long.”
