winter paper

- "In the absence of details about the content of the call, which lasted for 90 minutes, which is a very long period in the protocols of telephone conversations between the leaders of countries and governments, it is clear that there was a debate in the various files of the crisis and their addresses, although what was announced about the results of the conversation was limited to Generalities with accent compliments".

- He noted that this "He previously reflected Berlin’s desire to absorb Moscow and strengthen the European partnership with it, but with the outbreak of this war, priorities and plans changed, and the Germans became obligated to abide by the Western and Atlantic position on Russia, and the concern for security overshadowed the considerations of the economy.".
- "The conflict has greatly exceeded the European arena, so Germany cannot succeed in overcoming it unless there is a general Western consensus led by Washington to authorize Berlin to do so, by virtue of being the most affected by the consequences of the war on its energy security.

vicious circle of war
At the same time, the security expert considered that "It is too early to talk about effective settlements to the crisis and an active German role in it. The conflict is very complex, Russia will not accept defeat, and Ukraine, in return, with the support of the United States, is seeking to drain Moscow, and thus the vicious circle of war continues.".

He has to make a huge breakthrough the size of stopping the war".
"hand the solution"
- Regarding his opinion of the solution to this crisis, he said: "In the end, this zero-sum game must be finished, and in order to stop this destructive war and not to push Russia into a corner, it is necessary to present a ladder so that Putin can descend from the tree and to avoid the worst of the world".
- He added: "We are facing a sharp conflict between major powers that have nuclear fangs, and this peace will not be provided except by putting forward ideas and creative initiatives, to reach a compromise solution that ends the war and establishes a consensus that saves everyone’s face.".
It is reported that the last phone call that the German chancellor had with the Russian president took place in late May, and the call was also attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, who is the most European leader in contact with the Kremlin since the start of the Ukrainian war.
