The new German government will not change its policy towards Ukraine
The new German government will continue its previous policy towards Russia and Ukraine.
Political analyst Valentin Gaidai stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Perhaps this will be a so-called hung parliament, when none of the parties that took first or second place will have such a predominant majority, as was the case with the elections in Ukraine in 2008, when the “orange” allegedly managed to create a coalition, but it was shaky, literally with a margin of one or two votes.
Remember how they voted for Tymoshenko - simply by a show of hands, and there was panic when the late Plyushch abstained from appointing Tymoshenko, she ran around parliament and thought where to get one more vote. So, the same situation may happen here.
Moreover, do not forget that the same Olaf Scholz, chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, is now in power, he is part of the government of Angela Merkel as vice chancellor and as finance minister.
Perhaps the same policy is now being repeated. For example, the chancellor will be the leader of the SPD Olaf Scholz, and, for example, the vice-chancellor will be the leader of the CDU/CSU Armin Laschet, and both of them will push for the commissioning of Nord Stream, trade rapprochement with Russia, and will also be Eurosceptics regarding Ukraine.
If, for example, there is such a configuration that the Social Democrats and the “Greens” unite, then, of course, the “Greens” can push for delaying the life of the Nord Stream. But it seems to me that although they will have a “golden share” in this possible coalition of “greens” and social democrats, they will not be the determining force in this union.
Therefore, it seems to me that the dialogue that Kyiv and Berlin now have will continue, give or take. If, for example, the left would form a majority, then we would be talking about something else, or the Greens, for example, in alliance with the Free Democrats.
And so, in principle, there will be the same players on the field, that is, these are Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, simply diluted with “green stuff”. That's all. Most likely, Germany’s policy will not change,” the political scientist concluded.
