It was a complex topic that Anne Wants to be discussed with their guests: “the escalation in the Ukraine conflict – how to deal with President Putin?” The simplest solution, if a topic is negotiated with many facets, White is the escape in the Black-and-painting. Here is an image in various gray stood at the end, however, tones.

The generic feminine for the Evening: The CDU-staff debate, however, was not entirely left out. By Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, Friedrich Merz and Jens Spahn, which apply to the CDU presidency, this time was Kramp-Karrenbauer present. Anne Will presented you as one of the “three candidates” and added: “The men are, of course, included.”

The determination of the position of the Night: Wants to know: what is the Kramp-Karrenbauer to Russia? In the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, the Russian coast guard had denied in the Kerch Strait Ukrainian ships, the entrance to the Azov sea, and they fired. Would Kramp-Karrenbauer occur, as she has indicated, be harder to President Putin?

Kramp-Karrenbauer avoided criticism of Chancellor Angela Merkel – at the same time, repeated and extended but their demand, greater pressure on Moscow to exercise: Because of the action in the sea of Azov, the don’t be a Russian inland sea, you should consider to deny Russian ships landing in European and American ports.

The head shake of the Evening: That Russia will block the entrance of ships in the Ukrainian port, was “totally unacceptable,” said Dietmar Bartsch, the parliamentary group Chairman of the Left. Sanctions but he called it “a dead end”. A closure of the ports for Russian ships to be silly”,” he said. “Even if you talked to 99 times, to a 100. Time talk before you shoot the first Time.” For this he earned a shake of the head by Kramp, To shoot cart Bauer: that’s not what you recommended. The abolition of diplomacy.

The dispute is the question of the Night: sanctions, what would? Political scientist Herfried Münkler said he doesn’t “think that we come up with sanctions will continue”. You must take into account not only the current development, but “the Venüsbet entire stake or a beam of Wars, conflicts and the like in the eye”. That was the cue for the Minister of justice Katarina Barley, to compete in the European election as SPD top candidate. It does not handle the recent escalation to an isolated incident. The basic conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not solved from the outside. It was to “make Arrangements” for the two countries, “could deal with each other”: “We must be the bridge builders.” Dietmar Bartsch announced Barleys requirement, the procedures, first, finally, to clarify, before judgments.

The voice of criticism of the Night: What was actually cleared, asked Christoph von Marschall, the diplomatic correspondent at the “daily mirror”. He called for a harder line in dealing with Russia and brought about the end of political support for the private sector Gas Pipeline Nord Stream 2 into the game. He recommended not to talk more of the “Ukraine conflict”. The Russian approach to the sea of Azov was “an act of war”. According to “our understanding of the law” handle it Ukrainian territory. What Putin did would be “a serious breach of the peace and of international law”. You should, he found, the victim and the offender to be clearly defined.

The language of criticism-criticism of the Night: political scientist Münkler was, “the discussion of guilt and the offender and the victim” was “actually, just idle chit-chat” – to the extent that they do not continue to run. He rate, to think of cooling-strategically, and less in the moral and legal categories. The previous diplomatic efforts, such as the Minsk agreement, the Chancellor was out of work, would have at least prevented the worst. Secondly, as Münkler, would you give up the role of mediator, if you formulate a clear idea of who is perpetrator and who is victim. And thirdly, “we have no way to force Russia to something.”

The German interests of the Night: How should the Federal government conduct specific to the Gas Pipeline Nord Stream 2? Should you withdraw from the project, which also has critics in the ranks of the Union, the support? Barley said she would keep the “hypocritical”. Germany had “a high energy-political interest”. “The Position is, to me, to the point of radically,” said Kramp-Karrenbauer. But you can talk about how much the Gas will passed through. And Bartsch said, you should consider regardless of the Person of the Russian President. “Putin will not rule for another 100 years.”

And Angela Merkel? The. It is from this that they could remain until 2021 Chancellor, said Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.
