Channel: IIEA
Date: 12/09/2018

Dr Stefan Meister argues that since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, there has been an alienation and deep loss of trust in German-Russian relations. He discusses German support of the Nord Stream 2 Natural Gas Pipeline and argue that the last meeting of Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Vladimir Putin in Meseberg in August was characterised by a more pragmatic approach in German-Russian relations with less emphasis on Ukraine.
