~6 0~p>Manuela Schwesig even helped the Russian "Gazprom" circumvent Western sanctions.
Head of German federal state of Mecklenburg, which is in Vorpommern Manuela Schwesig admitted that her attempts to establish dialogue and friendship with the Russians were a mistake.
The publication writes about this BILD.
The publication writes that until February 24, 2022, she constantly advocated the development of economic ties with Russia, supported the construction of Nord Stream 2 coming to her region, and even helped the project circumvent sanctions.
However, in a recent talk show on ZDF, she considered it a mistake.
“We tried. Today it is criticized, but I remain in my opinion. I also believed that critical dialogue and economic cooperation with Russia were possible. This was the policy of the entire country, just read the old White Paper of the Bundeswehr from 2016 year,” said Schwesig.
She noted that this is now impossible, since the Russians have crossed the red line.
“You are constantly trying to get along with your difficult neighbor, and then he comes and sets your house on fire. You cannot leave it like that. We are for Ukraine!” – said Schwesig.
Recall that it was previously reported that German companies are helping the Russian Federation rebuild occupied Mariupol.
In addition, we previously reported that Stefanishina confirmed that the United States and Germany are against inviting Ukraine to NATO.
