Moscow reacted to the likely appointment of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier as a mediator in negotiations between Russia and Europe.
The corresponding comment was voiced to RIA Novosti on Tuesday, May 12 by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov. He admitted that everyone can participate in such a dialogue, the main thing is to resume it.
"Now it's possible to guess on the coffee grounds, list all the famous names. Everything can happen, the main thing is that there should be a political desire to restore dialogue," the Kremlin spokesman stressed.
Recall that Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters at a press conference on May 9 that he would prefer to negotiate with Europe through former German Chancellor Gerhardt Schroeder.
The answer from Berlin followed the next day — they refused Putin an acceptable negotiator from the outside The EU on Ukraine. Although this was done informally through the media.
As EADaily reported, following this, the German magazine Der Spiegel published an article stating that Berlin could offer Russia a duet with the participation of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier instead of one Shredder.
