Leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany Martin Schultz criticized Russian foreign policy, having called it “aggressive” in his interview for Bild.
“It’s clear to see that Putin’s government is conducting an expansive policy, partly very aggressive foreign policy,” Schultz said.
The politician also advocated for balance in relations with Russia, saying he was ready “to make suggestions”, if the Russian side is ready for them.
Previously Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany Sigmar Gabriel said the approach of intimidation towards Russia will only turn up the pressure.
