“ This has led France to actually lead the diplomatic effort from the front. And then you have the US and the U.K. on the other side who are taking a hardline approach to the crisis. So [Emmanuel Macron] has a quite unique position to really play the role of mediator and, I would say, facilitator of a potential compromise.”
“ Now all of these economic relationships are becoming geopolitically problematic and [Germany has to] revise its attitude toward Russia and China. That's a big, big process of reorientation. It takes a lot of time. [Former Chancellor Angela] Merkel was unwilling at the end to do it, even if she was tough on Russia from time to time. But she didn't really change this overall relationship. So I think this realization that we have to accept tensions with Russia, that's the big challenge for the Germans, for the German mentality.”
