Putin must stop this violence immediately," said Vice Prime Minister Simone Oldenburg (left) on Thursday after a special cabinet meeting in Schwerin.
Schwerin - The invasion of Ukraine represents a new dimension. "For the state government in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, it goes without saying that all our activities towards Russia are suspended in such a situation," said Oldenburg.
