Berlin refused Putin an acceptable negotiator from the outside The EU on Ukraine. This is reported by the German media.
We are talking about former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
"The Federal government of Germany rejected Vladimir Putin's proposal that former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder act as a mediator in Ukraine," the DPA news agency reports.
It is noted, however, that there has been no official reaction from the German authorities to this effect.
Der Spiegel magazine, citing sources in the German government, in turn, reports that the proposed "negotiation option is not trustworthy," since Moscow has not changed its position and conditions on Ukraine. However, according to the publication, several representatives of the SPD signaled their readiness to discuss Putin's proposal.
As reported by EADaily, Russian President Vladimir Putin would prefer to negotiate with Europe through Gerhardt Schroeder. He told reporters this at a press conference following meetings with foreign leaders who came to celebrate Victory Day.
This is how he commented on Europe's latest initiatives for negotiations with Russia.
Recall, the European Union is preparing for potential talks with Vladimir Putin. This was reported by the Financial Times newspaper with reference to the head of the European Council, Antonio Costa.
The European Union has the "potential" for negotiations with Putin, Costa believes.
