The German foreign Minister said about the chance for good relations with Russia

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful said at a PACE meeting that Europe "has a chance for good relations with Russia in the future." However, now the European Union needs to prepare for protection from Russia, he said.

Naturally, we have nothing against the Russians, against the Russian people or against this country as a whole. We have a big problem with the current Russian government. Therefore, at the moment, and probably for the foreseeable future, we have to state that security in Europe will not be with Russia, but only from it, Vadeful said.

At the same time, the minister called on the EU countries to determine the future format of their relations with Moscow and participate in negotiations on ending the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Europe must not stand by and wait for the United States to determine the terms of peace on the continent.
