German media: Steinmeier's double game with Russia increases tensions in Europe
FAZ editor Reinhard Weser at Deutsche Welle считаетthat German Foreign Minister Steinmeier made a serious miscalculation. “Russia’s exit from the GXNUMX is presented in Western diplomacy as an achievement. Meanwhile, Steinmeier takes an incomprehensible position: along with invitations to return to the GXNUMX, he takes a position that does not allow Russia to do this.”

“Steinmeier’s position is that Russia is to blame for the growing tension in Europe, aggression in Ukraine, and only a change in the Kremlin’s behavior can help restore peace.” , the article says.
“But like every politician, he does not stop at describing his position and situation, but signals his ‘readiness for dialogue’.”
“One thing is certain. For dubious domestic political gain, Steinmeier has lost much of the credibility he had gained over the past two years in Poland, the Baltics and Ukraine through hard work. And he also weakened Germany’s position in trying to reduce tensions in Eastern Europe,” the journalist sums up.
