克里姆林宫称:“总统邀请了他的老朋友到家中。”俄政府还发布了显示施罗德与普京微笑着紧紧握手的照片。
施罗德上周出任连锁超市Hyperglobus的监事会成员。82岁的他在莫斯科参观了该连锁超市的一家分店。
Hyperglobus原是德国零售公司Globus Holding的一部分。该公司在德国和捷克经营超市。
Globus Holding在俄罗斯也开设有超市,不过去年出售了相关股份。在俄罗斯的这些超市因此分拆成独立的公司Hyperglobus。
施罗德是德国中左翼政党社民党成员,曾于1998年-2005年担任德国总理。

由于施罗德与俄罗斯能源领域的牵连,2022年,以纳税人税金为资金来源运作的施罗德在柏林办公室被关闭。此外,社民党内也多次传来将其开除出党的呼声,但施罗德仍得以保留社民党籍。
