Germany: SPD chairman calls on Schroeder to end work with Russia soon

SPD leader Lars Klingbail has called on former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to end his business dealings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Welt.

He expects a clear demeanor from Schroeder these days, Klingbeil wrote on Saturday. “He condemned the illegal war in Ukraine. But: This war starts exclusively with Putin,” he said.

And so there can only be one logical conclusion: “You are not doing business with an attacker, with a belligerent like Putin. As a former federal chancellor, you never act completely privately. Especially not in a situation like today. Therefore, it has “It’s too late to end business relations with Putin. I look forward to it.”
