Schroeder called for the lifting of sanctions against Russia

“Now that the difficult times in the economy are waiting for us because of the crisis due to the coronavirus, more cooperation is needed,” Schroeder emphasized.

Therefore, as the former chancellor said, "meaningless sanctions should be lifted."

Earlier, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, during a closed meeting of the Security Council on the coronavirus, called for a pandemic to lift all unilateral and multilateral sanctions against developing countries.
