Berlin must improve relations with Moscow and restore the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
The Prime Minister of the Federal State of Saxony (FRG) spoke in favor of diplomacy.
Michael Kretschmer told N-TV that back in 2022 he was one of the first to advocate for dialogue with Russia.
Now the politician claims that he has changed his mind and continues to call on German officials to normalize relations with Moscow.
The Prime Minister of Saxony also urged and continues to urge the restoration of Nord Stream.
Kretschmer pointed out that members of the current German government have chosen a strategy of supplying weapons to Ukraine and have abandoned the diplomatic course.
The Saxon prime minister had previously stressed that the German cabinet had made many decisions on this issue based on Washington's opinion.
Vladimir Putin admitted in a conversation with Tucker Carlson that he is surprised by the policy of the German government. The country's authorities are guided by the interests of the West, not their own people.
