The Kremlin has welcomed former German Chancellor Gerard Schroeder’s statement that his friendly relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin could be useful in reaching a solution to the conflict over Ukraine. A good constructive relationship on a personal level, as between V. Putin and G. Schroeder, could help solve problems, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. V. Putin and G. Shroider have proven this many times when G. Shroider was still in office. “It helped to solve the most difficult issues (…),” said D. Peskov, quoted by Russian news agencies.
The Kremlin has welcomed former German Chancellor Gerard Schroeder’s statement that his friendly relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin could be useful in reaching a solution to the conflict over Ukraine. A good constructive relationship on a personal level, as between V. Putin and G. Schroeder, could help solve problems, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. V. Putin and G. Shroider have proven this many times when G. Shroider was still in office. “It helped to solve the most difficult issues (…),” said D. Peskov, quoted by Russian news agencies.
Before that, G. Shroider stated that he could imagine that his friendship with V. Putin could contribute to ending the war in Ukraine. “We have been cooperating intelligently for many years. Maybe it could still help to find a negotiated solution, I don’t see another one,” said the former chancellor in an interview with dpa.
After the invasion of Ukraine, V. Putin met with G. Schroeder in Moscow. The German politician called Russia’s invasion of the neighboring country a “fatal mistake”, but he did not renounce his friendship with V. Putin. Mr. Schroeder advocates new mediation efforts at the government level and believes that France and Germany should take the initiative.
Kremlin representative D. Peskov emphasized that today he does not see the desire of political actors to end the conflict. Germany under the leadership of Chancellor Olaf Scholz is said to be heavily involved in the war. In Europe, according to D. Peskov, the prevailing attitude is to “provoke Ukraine to fight until the last Ukrainian”. According to him, Moscow monitors various positions in Europe, but does not see the situation changing.
