“This is not the first statement by Maas aimed at removing the“ heartburn ”from the Russian authorities regarding the position of the FRG.
This "heartburn" itself is caused by the fact that Maas had other statements ... Germany also has to make statements in order to record, confirm and prove its Euro-Atlantic solidarity, "the MP said.
At the same time, he noted that partnerships with Russia are beneficial for large German companies for many reasons.
“Germany has its own national interests, these are the interests of the serious business structures of Germany,” the parliamentarian said, noting that it was they who were interested in the implementation of Nord Stream 2 and gas supplies.
Earlier, Maas said that the dialogue with Russia cannot be stopped because “too many people depend” on the international community, which can end conflicts in cooperation with the Russians.
