German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday at an awkward time for the leader of a Western nation still dependent on Russian gas. The new chancellor’s position is not helped by an old chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, whose lucrative business dealings with Russia are exasperating Germans and compromising their leaders.
Earlier this month, during a visit to Washington, DC, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was asked about a former chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, who was nominated in January to join the board of Russian energy giant Gazprom.
