The wife of the former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder S-Schreder-Kym said that the politician arrived in Moscow for negotiations on energy policy, writes Der Tagesspiegel.
This is the second visit of the ex-Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Russian Federation since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Earlier, the politician himself said that he had come to Moscow to rest. “He is not on vacation, he will negotiate energy policy in Moscow,” his wife shared the details.
It is known that near the hotel in which Schroeder stopped is the headquarters of one of the Russian oil companies. When representatives of the media indicated this, the politician replied: “Really? Oh yes, right, you’re right.”
Schroeder, who held the position from 1998 to 2005, also expressed his position in connection with the war in Ukraine. The politician called for the continuation of dialogue with Moscow and did not exclude the conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The former German Chancellor pointed out that the Ukrainian crisis should be decided diplomatic.
