In an interview with The New York Times on April 23, Schröder said he would resign from Rosneft only if Russia halts energy exports to Europe.

He added that “a long-term isolation of a country like Russia is economically and politically impossible.”

“When this war (against Ukraine) is over, we will have to resume our relationship with Russia; that’s what we always do,” said the former chancellor.

Schröder said he doesn’t intend to distance himself from Putin, and has no reservations about his stance on Russia.
