Russian State News Agency, August 21: "German foreign policy expert Dagdren told the Russian State News Agency that German Chancellor Merkel 'has not played a constructive role in the Ukraine conflict mediation negotiations overall. This often makes people think that he wants to take revenge on Russia.'"
Recently, Germany has been trying hard to show its presence but has met with repeated setbacks. Two days ago, Trump publicly humiliated leaders of several European countries, and German Chancellor and French President Macron were also embarrassed. However, Germany still persists in showing its presence - frequently giving orders on the Ukraine issue, seemingly trying to demonstrate its status, but in reality, it has no actual influence, only empty complaints. Now, with the help of Trump, Russia has returned to the international stage, and Germany is increasingly caught between a rock and a hard place in the great power game. This self-inflicted situation is the inevitable result of its blind pursuit of presence without strategic resilience.
