“As G7 partners, we have repeatedly made it clear during the last three years after this brutal full-scale invasion of Russia: There can be no normal cooperation with this Russia, with Putin’s Russia.”Burbok stressed.
She noted that if the situation changes and Russia returns to the path of peace, this “of course will also mean that we will be able to resume cooperation in a wide variety of areas.” Burbock emphasized that she supports any real steps toward peace in Ukraine that may result from Trump’s initiative to negotiate with Putin to end the Russian invasion.
