Germany, Schroeder flies to Moscow from Putin to attempt mediation. The former chancellor embarrasses the Scholz government

BERLIN – Gerhard Schröder flew to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin’s most famous lobbyist wants to make his contribution to help end the war against Ukraine, he reports Politico. The former chancellor would have left without warning the government or the leaders of the SPD, which is also the party of the current chancellor Olaf Scholz. Perhaps it is no coincidence: Schroeder had now become an embarrassment for everyone, above all for the current government and the Social Democrats.
