Pistorius saw no way for Germany to start talks with Russia

Germany does not yet see any ways to start direct negotiations with Russia. Boris Pistorius, head of the German Defense Ministry, told journalists in Munich on February 14 in response to a question from Izvestia.

"There are no paths for this so far. You are asking the wrong person. I am only the minister of defense. But for now, there seem to be no direct channels for [negotiations]," he said.
