The sanctions really make sense. You have helped to weaken Russia. Everyone knows that.
Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz justified his decision to expand the advisory group of participating states this G7 Monday. One should “not fall into the trap that Putin sets up,” he said on ZDF on Monday morning, with a view to a possible interpretation of the Russian President of a divided world. It was therefore a “very conscious decision” to also invite India, Indonesia, South Africa, Argentina and Senegal to the consultations. The larger group wants to discuss the climate crisis and health.
