Summary
Vladimir Putin appoints Gerhard Schroeder as mediator for Ukraine war, despite controversy in Germany. Schroeder, a close ally of Putin, has led Russian energy giants and pushed Nord Stream pipelines. His appointment raises questions about his impartiality, as he never condemned Russias invasion of Ukraine. Berlin officials dismiss the idea, while some SPD voices suggest considering it to keep Europe in the game. Politicians are split, with critics insisting a mediator must win Ukraines nod first, while others question what Europe has to lose by talking to Schroeder.
