When dealing with Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin, one should no longer harbor any illusions, says Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner.
In view of the Russian war against Ukraine, Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner is in favor of exerting maximum pressure on Moscow and not showing any complacency.
“Who else can calculate Vladimir Putin? I don’t,” said the FDP politician to the “Rheinische Post”. “I can only give the answer: no appeasement. With the harshness of the opportunities available to us, Russia is being isolated. Politically, economically, financially.”
The politics of the past decades and the approach to Russia were not wrong, said Lindner. “But some illusions have turned out to be false. Some narratives of Russia as a victim should be critically examined.”
Referring to the Ukrainian refugees, Lindner said: “When I see the pictures of the young families who get into their cars and fear for their lives, it’s clear: we can and must help. But these people want nothing more than to be able to return to their homeland peacefully.”
