This could have fundamental consequences for European-Chinese relations. The role of ...

Nord Stream 2 is not dead, it’s a sleeping beauty

... appreciated the initial initiative by France back in 2014 to use this Normandy gathering to set up a negotiating format, which we hoped would facilitate progress along the implementation of the Minsk agreements. Unfortunately, the efforts of France and Germany over all these years were not sufficient to persuade Kyiv to implement the Minsk agreements.

Merkel’s Legacy, as Seen From Russia

... Angela Merkel’s sixteen years as German chancellor have shaped Berlin’s place and role in Europe and in the twenty-first-century world at large. Her legacy will live on long after she steps down from the leadership. While firmly embedded within the European Union, Germany has essentially become its sole, though by no means, absolute leader.

... cooperation between states, not least because we will need to substantially upgrade interconnecting grids to share electrical power. With these interconnecting grids, will also come greater cultural, political, societal interconnection. When the wind blows in Germany and not in Georgia then, via interconnectors, it would be possible to shift power from one place to the other. The same is true of the sun. If the sun shines in the south of France and not in Vladivostok, it will be possible to transfer power ...

Russia–Germany: Crisis of Political Confidence as a Factor in Asymmetrical Relations
