SOT, Steffen Seibert, spokesperson for federal government (German): “There is a news from ‘dpa’ according to which Mr. Lukashenko said today at the border to Poland [that] ‘2.000 people is not a big problem for Germany and Chancellor Merkel agreed to receive these people in Germany’ and I want to clearly say for the Chancellor and the federal government that this statement is false.’‘

SOT Steffen Seibert, spokesperson for federal government (German): “​Of course the clear worsening of the political climate between the European Union and Russia in the years since the annexation of Crimea is a price. I don’t want to talk speculatively but I want to say that we are concerned, that it is disappointing that the Normandy meeting of the Foreign Ministers didn’t take place which is due to Russia’s attitude, and that it is still necessary to continue the dialogue.’‘
