Berlin-Sana
Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder stressed the impossibility of isolating Russia politically and economically for a long time due to the German industry's need for Russian products, which are not limited to oil and gas only.
"A country like Russia cannot be isolated politically or economically in the long term," RIA Novosti quoted Schroeder as telling the New York Times. "German industry needs the raw materials that Russia has, which is not only oil and gas, but also rare metals that are raw materials that simply cannot be replaced."
Schroeder pointed out that after the Russian operation in Ukraine, we will have to deal with Russia again.
