Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she does not consider her policies wrong, including her decision to increase purchases of natural gas from Russia.
The German Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann expressed the opinion that it was Angela Merkel’s policy, which she followed after the annexation of the Crimean peninsula, that most influenced Russia’s subsequent release of a full-scale war in Ukraine . About this on Saturday, October 22, Welt wrote.
He emphasized that after the annexation of Crimea by Russia, Germany “turned a blind eye to it”, continuing the construction of Nord Stream 2, thereby “approving” the annexation of the territories and making Germany dependent on the Kremlin , on gas supplies from the east. .
At the same time, analyzing the situation, he noted structural similarities in the European security structure today and in 1938.
“We are dealing with dictators who have advanced territorial claims. And rely on the fact that Western democracies will leave them under pressure. Then it is believed that we are talking about Czechoslovakia. Also , many believe that we are talking about Crimea. Or then about Ukraine “But that is not the case. Our whole value system is under attack here,” Bushman explained.
According to him, nothing can be achieved with the policy of reconciliation.
“The dictator accepts this as an invitation only,” Bushman said.
Remember, Merkel said that a lasting peace in Europe is only possible with the participation of Russia.
Earlier, the former German Chancellor urged not to ignore Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threats.
