Former German Chancellor Calls Extension of Anti-Russian Sanctions ‘Absurd'

 Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder strongly opposed the decision of the West to extend sanctions against Russia

In
interview with German media, the politician stated that anti-Russian
sanctions are still in place despite "obvious progress" in the implementation of the Minsk Agreement.



"What I have been criticizing — and this is the
mistake of the German government — is that, despite the clear progress
in the implementation of the Minsk agreement sanctions against Russia
not only remain in place, but are being extended. This is almost
absurd," Schroeder said.
