Recently he had come under massive criticism, but now Gerhard Schröder is intervening in the Ukraine conflict: the ex-chancellor apparently held initial talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Thursday in Moscow - but not on behalf of the federal government.
Chancellor Gerhard Schröder is in Moscow to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Ukraine war. Corresponding reports from the news portal "Politico" and the "Bild" newspaper were confirmed to the German Press Agency on Thursday evening. According to dpa information, the first talks between Schröder and Putin took place on Thursday. It was initially unclear whether more were planned.
Gerhard Schröder, ex-Chancellor and current lobbyist for Russian energy companies, wants to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin for peace in the conflict with Ukraine. This was first reported by "Politico" . Accordingly, the Ukrainian government asked Schröder to mediate. From government circles, WELT has been confirmed that Schröder's initiative has not been coordinated with the federal government. Accordingly, there was “no order and no coordination” with the Chancellery. According to WELT information, the SPD leadership was not in the know either.
Schröder and Putin have been friends for years. The ex-chancellor had come under massive pressure since the beginning of the war because he distanced himself neither from his well-paid posts nor from Putin. Among other things, he is the head of the board of directors of Nord Stream 2. He is also an employee of Gazprom and Rosneft. All Russian state companies.
Most recently, Schröder's wife, So-yeon Schröder-Kim, indicated on Instagram that the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, had asked Gerhard Schröder to mediate.

So Schröder wants a bigger cut from Putin?
He’d better be careful, he might just find some polonium in his hefeweizen
Strange bedfellows coming to light…
Not just criticism: a German prosecutor was mentioning something about criminal charges if he didn’t separate himself from Russia.
Probably won’t be worse than any of the current incompetent clowns.
Gerhard Schröder hasn’t been chancellor of Germany since 2005. Now he’s just one of Putin’s globalist buddies.
So have they divided Poland yet?
Gerhard Schröder works for Putin now, Even his whole staff quit. They don’t care about Russia or Germany, just self dealing.
Not strange. Schroeder has been an executive for Gasprom the Russian oil and gas conglomerate. He’s on their side.
Ah, I think he is on his side first.. Putin seems to be the key to keeping his business affairs in tact…. I suspect there is a whole lot of this going on in oligarch circles on all sides.
Someone has to do it...certainly we have no one of any stature whatsoever to be taken seriously on the diplomatic front.
Oh yes we do!
Looks familiar....
Oh, that 60’s anti-drug commercial...
“Got a monkey on your back?”
Imagine going from being the leader of a significant country to a paid lackey overnight. That’s Schröder. He was always a scumbag.
Next up at bat is Gerhard Schröder. He made millions via Gazprom/ Lets see what this evil clown can do/
True! This might get interesting w this current Putin /Gerhard Schröder Love In
Which one is on the side of the cat is alive and which says the cat is dead?
Ha! I saw what you did there…
Putin is fluent in German, and served in Germany as a KGB Officer. The big shift in Germany’s position and defense spending has been one of the notable strategic surprises that have occurred. He will want to hear what is going on in Germany.
Schröder led the left wing Party in Germany, their equivalent of the Democratic Party in the USA. Always the more Russian leaning.
