“What do the Russians want? Status quo in the Donbass and Crimea. No more. I believe that it was a fatal mistake that Putin started the war. It is clear to me that Russia is under threat,” he believes.
In his opinion, Western countries should not think that Russia poses a threat to them. Schröder believes that Putin will not start a war against NATO.
Look: Türkiye is a member of NATO. There are missiles that can reach Moscow directly. The US wanted to bring NATO to Russia’s western border, for example with Ukraine as a new member. All this was felt as a threat to the Russians. There are also irrational points of view. The Russians responded with a mixture of both: fear and defense forward, so no one in Poland, the Baltic states and especially in Germany – in fact, in all NATO members – should believe that they are in danger. not with any NATO member,” he said, adding, “this fear of the Russians coming is absurd. How are they supposed to defeat NATO, let alone occupy Western Europe?”
Let us remember that in this interview, Schröder called Crimea “part of Russian history.”
