Putin and Merkel held a joint press conference in Sochi after their meeting on Maj 2. Putin was the first to address the press as well as Russian and German delegations and dignitaries.

Russia prepared to work towards G20 summit – He declared that Russia is prepared to work for a successful and fruitful G20 summit in Hamburg in July. He said talks would continue and added “As far as preparations for the forthcoming G20 summit are concerned, we will discuss them in detail at a working breakfast. .. Russia is prepared to furnish all needed assistance to Germany’s presidency to ensure the summit in Hamburg is productive, and to make fundamental, unanimous decisions on the most acute economic and financial issues.”

Bilateral relations – Putin noted that cooperation between Russia and Germany has significantly contributed to the stability of the global economy and the remaining problems will be discussed within and outside the framework of the G20, Putin reiterated: “Our cooperation is a significant contribution to the stabilization of the global economy. …  These relations have growth prospects.”

Putin recognized that cooperation between Moscow and Berlin is important for peace and stability in Europe. “In the years that have gone by following World War II, Russia and Germany have traveled a long way to rapprochement,” Putin said. “Our common goal is to preserve the previously gained experience and foster bilateral cooperation in the name of peace and stability in Europe,” he added.

Minsk Accords and Ukraine – Pertaining the Minsk agreement and the situation in Ukraine Putin recognized that the accords are essential to achieve a direct dialog between Kiev and the Donbass republics. “The Kiev authorities and representatives of these self-proclaimed republics must be brought to the negotiating table at last.” Putin recognized that the situation in Ukraine had been far worse than it is today without the talks within the Normandy Four format in Minsk. “If that format had not existed, the current state of affairs would have been far worse than it is today and that would be a certain outcome.” He added that he hopes that direct talks would resume soon.

Putin noted that these territories (Donestk People’s Republic – DPR – and Lughansk People’s Republic – LPR ) did not split off. He added that: “The Ukrainian authorities are separating them by imposing blockades,”  he claimed. He added that this was the reason why the self-proclaimed Donbass republics had to introduce other currencies instead of the Ukrainian hryvnia, including the Russian ruble. Besides, they also had to introduce temporary administrations at local enterprises that had lost the opportunity to receive raw materials from Ukraine and deliver their goods there.

Putin said “It is impossible to achieve a settlement to the conflict without direct talks between the conflicting factions. It has never happened otherwise elsewhere in the world. .. “I am deeply certain that the authorities in Kiev missed the chance to implement the Minsk Accords even when they had the internal political opportunities for that. … Today these opportunities are becoming fewer and narrower. … It is impossible to build new plans without achieving the implementation of the previous ones first.” Putin did not mention any of the Donbass Republic’s failures with regard to the Minsk Accords. The accords stipulate, among others, that the LPR and DPR have to relinquish their control over the border to Russia to Ukrainian authorities.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, for her part, said that recent events “showed that multilateral cooperation is very important today, and it is this spirit that we wish to prepare for the G20 summit”. Merkel noted that she and Putin had started their meeting by discussing bilateral relations.

Bilateral relations, EU and sanctions –  Merkel said that there had been “quite satisfactory developments in bilateral economic relations”. She added “For me the intended goal, via the implementation of the Minsk Accords, to also get to the point where we can cancel the sanctions imposed by the European Union”. However, Merkel also noted that Germany and Russia have bilateral relations within the economic sector, science, research, exchange of youths, as an issue that I want to underpin, and I also want to recall that we, in one week, have the 72ns anniversary of the end of World War II.

Merkel recalled that she was in Moscow two years ago and recognized how Russians tended the graves of fallen German soldiers as if it were absolutely normal. She also recognized the sacrifice that citizens of the former Soviet Union had to make due to the war. Merkel said “we can not allow ourselves to forget these parts of our history and that we have to form our contemporary relations based on recognizing the importance of these historic events”.

Merkel said she and Putin also discussed the “St. Petersburg Dialog”. She recognized that the dialog has grown into a forum where one can discuss, quite openly, also sensitive matters”. She added that it is important for her that civil society in Germany and Russia exchange views even though there are differences in opinion.

The importance of civil society and NGOs – “Within thes context we have also discussed the rights and opportunities that civil society has in Russia”, she said, an added: “I have mentioned the German – Russian House in Kaliningrad; I believe we have already found solutions and can soon close that case”. “However”, said Merkel, “I have also reiterated the importance of people’s right to organize rallies, pointed out how important the role of NGOs is in civil society, and I have stressed that we receive very negative reports about, similar to Hungary, reports about oppression of homosexuals in Chechnya”.

Merkel noted that she had asked Vladimir Putin to use his influence in these areas so as to guarantee minority rights. Merkel referred to the ban of the Jehovas Witness sect as one case in which minority rights were not guaranteed.

Continuation of Minsk Talks after French elections – “We have then also talked about international issues”, said Merkel, and noted that the last phone conversation between her and Putin about the Minsk Agreement had been important because it was agreed to continue the process after the French elections. Merkel recognized that it was a difficult endeavor marked by slow, step by step progress, with the one or the other setback in between. Merkel also commented on the importance of the work of OSCE observers in Ukraine.

Merkel described the talks between her and Putin as “comprehensive” – and Putin nodded to recognize her statement. Merkel also underpinned that talks would continue and that “international politics translates into consistently seeking out dialog, and it should, especially today, in a world where many can see that so much has gone awry”.
