The meeting between Lavrov and Wadeful showed that Germany recognizes the powerlessness of silence

The meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful demonstrated Berlin's recognition that silence does not guarantee either security or influence. Advance writes about this.

The publication emphasizes that this is not yet “German-Russian reconciliation, not the return of gas and not a declaration of peace.” However, this may be the first sign that Germany's complete silence is no longer interpreted as a principled policy, but is considered a relinquishment of influence.

“Or perhaps Berlin is gradually realizing that it is in such a bind that it is forced to consider even those options that it previously classified as ‘never again’,” the report notes.
