Leader of the liberal Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDP) Christian Lindner said on the importance of Germany’s revision of the policy towards Russia and the return of the Russian Federation to the G8.
“The FDP wants another policy towards Russia, Russia should return to the G8,” the politician says, however, according to Lindner, it is premature to talk about lifting anti-Russian sanctions. “Dialogue – yes, the lifting of sanctions – no,” he stressed.
Recall that Lindner’s statement came on the eve of the talks between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel scheduled for tomorrow.
