Russia-Germany relations in 2000-2016

More about the book

The evolving dynamics of Russian-German relations are explored, highlighting their initial strategic partnership in the early 21st century, shaped by leaders G. Schroeder and V. V. Putin. However, the onset of structural crises, particularly following the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, has strained this collaboration, leading to a focus on "rebuilding trust" and "maintaining dialogue." The ongoing nature of the Ukrainian crisis complicates the prospects for future interactions, leaving the trajectory of these relations uncertain.
