The relationship between Germany and Russia is tense – for different reasons. It has now been announced that Chancellor Merkel will travel to Russia next week.
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) travels to Moscow next Friday. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert announced on Friday in Berlin.
The Kremlin in Moscow confirmed Merkel’s meeting with President Vladimir Putin. Details of the program would be announced earlier this week, Seibert said. According to the Kremlin, it is about relations between the two countries as well as current international issues. Details were not given.
Relations between Berlin and Moscow are very tense because of various conflicts, such as the imprisonment of the Kremlin opponent Alexej Navalny. Moscow also sees itself wrongly held responsible for the murder of a Georgian in Berlin and the hacking attack on the Bundestag in 2015. Merkel was last in Moscow in mid-January last year.
After the visit to the Russian capital, the Chancellor’s trip to Ukraine is also planned for Sunday next week. According to the spokesman, details should also only be announced in the coming week.
