According to Röttgen, in the situation around Ukraine, it is extremely important for the West to take a unified position and resist escalation from Russia, threatening the most severe economic sanctions.
“It is impossible to imagine that Nord Stream 2 would be launched if Russia really attacks Ukraine again,” the parliamentary spokesman said.
He also said that Germany should continue negotiations with Russia.
“But dialogue should not be used in German foreign policy as a cover for inaction. Our international partners rightly expect Europe to become more actively involved in foreign and security policy,” he says.
