The tightening of sanctions against Russia will not help to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, and will only exacerbate the situation, said in an interview, the Vice-Chancellor, Minister of economy of Germany, Sigmar Gabriel.
" I don't think it will help us economically. The situation will only get worse, " said Gabrielle. The right way to settle the fall, in the opinion of the Minister, lies in the combination of the existing sanctions and attempts at political influence ".
Gabrielle positively assessed the policy of the German Chancellor and foreign Minister of Germany concerning the capital of Russia." I think it is right that Angela Merkel and Frank-Walter Steinmeier bet on dialogue, not confrontation, As others, " he said.
The Minister criticized the actions of NATO against Russia, and called " continuous cries out " of the Russian borders " completely wrong " response.
" We are obliged to use the channels for dialogue. In the end We will succeed only through political negotiations, and not through strumming weapons or harsher punishments, " drew attention Sigmar Gabriel.
Relations between Russia and the West deteriorated in connection with the situation in Ukraine.
