Germany reaches out to Russia to improve relations between States, but Moscow is not yet ready for the next step. This was stated by the Minister of defence of Germany and leader of the conservative party CDU Annegret Kramp-of Karrenbauer, reports Deutsche Welle.
The Minister regrets due to the fact that Russia does not intend to establish closer cooperation.
“From the Russian leadership depends, whether it will shake the outstretched us hand,” said crump, Karrenbauer.
In her view, Russia is not willing to make steps towards what they say “contrary to international law the annexation of Crimea and the war in the East of Ukraine,” cyber attacks, disinformation campaign, and violations of treaties on nuclear weapons.
Speaking about the anniversary of the liberation from Nazism on may 8, the Minister noted that for many Eastern Europeans the end of the war did not bring freedom. There was a different situation, in her opinion, in Western Europe, where people have a chance at a peaceful, prosperous and safe life. 8 may for crump, Karrenbauer — “day of liberation from inhuman dictatorship”.
Earlier, the head of the defense Department have said that despite difficult relations of the Russian and European sides, the dialogue with Moscow is essential. She said that the difficult situation is also emerging in relations with China. According to crump, Karrenbauer, Beijing is one of the most important partners that violate international order and rules.
