Maasadd that Germany does not intend to abandon dialogue with Russia by Alexei Navalny, “Moscow is necessary to resolve regional conflicts“.
“Our relations with Russia will remain difficult Y a European response to unacceptable actions by Russia will follow in the future“.
“We are sitting at the same table with Russia in the UN Security Council, in the Berlin Process in Libya and on the question of Ukraine. In all forums we are talking about finding a solution to end wars. In this case dialogue with Moscow cannot be stopped“Maas commented.
Noted that without Russia, it will not be possible to resolve conflicts not only in Libya, Syria, Ukraine, but also in Nagorno-Karabakh, Belarus and Venezuela..
“As for Ukraine and Libya, there are generally positive developments. The truce in eastern Ukraine has been observed for the longest time since the beginning of the conflict,” Maas said. “Too many people in the world depend on the fact that the world community, in dialogue with Russia, has taken care to end these conflicts,” he added.
Noted that In addition to the Navalny incident, there are other problems that complicate cooperation between Germany and Russia.. “Unfortunately in Germany we have other controversial issues in relations with Moscow, for example, the Tiergarten assassination and a hacker’s attack on the Bundestag“Maas recalled.

Maas doesn’t think if Joe Biden wins US Presidential Elections “everything will be fine again “in relations between Germany and the United States.
“I’m not one of those people who believes that with President Biden, everything will be fine again. Over the years, America’s foreign and security policy has redefined the strategic role it played during the Cold War.“, He said.” We must be prepared for the fact that nothing will change structurally in this important trend. “
According to Transatlantic relations under current President Donald Trump have gotten more complicated. “Decisions were made without prior agreements that we could not understand,” Maas said, referring to the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. “I would like the attitude towards others to change, regardless of who wins this election. But there is a lesson to be learned: Europeans must take greater responsibility“.
Maas also commented that he had refused to visit Turkey. this week due to Ankara’s actions in the eastern Mediterranean. “By sending the Oruc Reis research ship again earlier this week, Turkey has seriously upset the atmosphere of trust that we have so diligently built. In this regard, I have abstained from a planned visit to Ankara this week.”
