Wolfgang Ischinger, director of the influential Munich Security Conference, announced the end of the idea of a strategic partnership between Germany and Russia. He expressed this opinion due to the poisoning of the leader of the Russian opposition Alexei Navalny.
Der Spiegel reports.
According to him, the victim is ridiculed in Russia. For this reason alone, this is an incredibly inconvenient process for the Kremlin.
“Russia’s credibility was undermined by the attack on Sergei Skripal in the UK, the murder of a Chechen emigrant in Berlin’s Tiergarten and the hacker attack on the Bundestag,” Ischinger said.
He also added that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been patient with President Vladimir Putin for the past 15 years.
“It has long been clear what a word from Moscow is worth. The law of the fittest operates there. This is the end, sadly, of the very idea of strategic partnership,” Ischinger said.
Recall that Navalny fell into a coma on August 20 during an airplane flight. The opponent spent two days in the Omsk hospital, after which he was transferred to the German “Charite” clinic. At the same time, Russian doctors said that no poisons were found in his blood. In turn, German doctors confirmed the fact of Navalny’s poisoning.
The German government is ready to impose diplomatic sanctions against Russia for the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Also RBC-Ukraine wrote, Germany urged Russia not to cover the situation with Navalny’s “fig leaf”.
