Germans have already expressed their dissatisfaction with the new Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Annalena Berbock. Her position on Russia has caused indignation
Die Welt newspaper has published an article about the diplomat and her statements about Russia’s imaginary invasion of Ukraine and its consequences.
During a meeting of the European Union Foreign Affairs Council, Berbock started threatening Russia. Germans took notice and reacted negatively to her statement. In comments on the publication, they noted that she should not threaten Moscow.
Some wrote that Berbok had already shown herself to be unfit for such a position. Her cheap show does not scare anyone, but it damages relations with Russia. The Germans are convinced that such an approach is unfit for the post of foreign minister.
In reaching their conclusion, the readers of Die Welt warned against overestimating one’s capabilities when it comes to Russia. No threat frightens her and she pays little attention to it. As a diplomat, however, Berbock should understand how important it is to build dialogue, not pressure. This is the only way to establish normal relations not only with Russia but also with any other country.
