German MP warns of 'escalation of tensions' with Russia

GD&TĐ - German Left Party MP Zeren Pelmann has called on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to end the escalation of tensions with Russia.

In a statement quoted in the Berliner Zeitung, Pelmann emphasized: "Instead of continuing the current escalation, we need serious efforts to achieve a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine."

This politician argues that the current German government is deliberately choosing a path of direct confrontation with Russia, and warns of the consequences of this policy.

In a related development, Russian President Vladimir Putin, when asked about a negotiating partner with the European Union (EU), said that he personally would prioritize former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder.

However, he stressed that the decision rests with Europe and that the chosen person should be someone they trust and who "does not make negative statements" about Russia.

According to Politico, some potential candidates for the role include European Council President António Costa, former and current Finnish Presidents Sauli Niinistö and Alexander Stubb, former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
