Gerhard Schröder, prezent la ziua lui Vladimir Putin

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder attended Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday celebration in Moscow, as confirmed by the Kremlin. Images show them smiling together. Schröder was in Moscow for business related to the Hyperglobus supermarket chain, where he recently joined the supervisory board. His ties to Russia have drawn criticism, especially in Germany, particularly after the invasion of Ukraine. Despite this, Putin suggested Schröder could represent European countries in peace negotiations, a proposal rejected by European foreign ministers.
