How Putin’s negotiator Kozak was able to come to Berlin to discuss the Donbass

Dmitry Kozak made a one-day visit to Germany, although he is under sanctions from the United States and the European Union due to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and he is denied entry to the EU. In Berlin, it was explained that the representative of the Kremlin was allowed as an exception.

This was reported to RIA Novosti by the press service of the German government.

“In the European Union, certain exceptions and procedures are provided to block entry, including prior information from other member states. The exceptions relate, for example, to negotiations to resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine. These rules have been respected “The department representative explained in response to the question is whether Kozak’s visit means lifting his sanctions temporarily or permanently.

Previously, “Country” quoted Kozak about the outcome of his trip to Berlin and the meetings with representatives of the German authorities.

We also report that yesterday Denis Shmygal and Angela Merkel discussed the situation in the Donbass and the bilateral relations between Ukraine and Germany.
