German politician, SPD candidate for the current land elections in Lower Saxony Doris Schroeder-Köpf believes that Crimea will never be back to Ukraine.
“We must proceed from the fact that the Crimea will never again be given up, so in this regard we will have to take for granted a certain “status quo”. I would like, that someday we (Russia and Germany) will return to the kind of cooperation that was in 1998-2005, and in the days of Helmut Kohl and Hans-Dietrich Genscher”.
Schroeder-Köpf also commented on the current Chancellor Angela Merkel’s policy towards Russia.
