stated physical confrontations. The only thing that saved him from most severe MK Ultra beating was that he was German as I couldn't believe nor Ukrainian Crimea nor 2022 would ever come because of Germans...Steinmeier and all other Germans got one thing wrong - myself. They did somewhat turned table around again in 2017(begun to side with Ukrainians infront of me), but their REAL work in Ukraine can be seen from afar...not much for the sake of Ukraine if anything at all - more to clean their hands and look at least somewhat credible infront of international society...
BERLIN (Reuters) - German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, long an advocate of Western rapprochement with Russia, expressed regret for his earlier stance, saying his years of support for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline had been a clear mistake.
Steinmeier, a Social Democrat who served as Foreign Minister under Chancellor Angela Merkel before being elevated to the presidency, said Russia's invasion of Ukraine meant he and others had to reckon honestly with what they had got wrong.
"My adherence to Nord Stream 2 was clearly a mistake," he said. "We were sticking to a bridge in which Russia no longer believed and which other partners had warned us against."
Steinmeier was a prominent member of a wing of his Social Democratic Party, led by former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, that argued close economic ties to Russia were a way of anchoring it within a western-oriented global system.
The now-cancelled Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which critics said would have weakened Ukraine by cutting it out of the energy transit business, was a centrepiece of that strategy.
That has triggered a growing backlash, with critics on social media repeatedly tweeting past pictures of him affectionately embracing Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, while Ukraine's ambassador Andrij Melnyk has been outspoken in his criticism.
When Steinmeier arranged a "solidarity concert" for Ukraine, Melnyk tweeted sarcastically that the only soloists appeared to be Russian. "An affront," he wrote. "Sorry, I'm not coming."
Germany's president is meant to be a unifying figure who stands above the cut and thrust of daily politics, one who enjoys the moral authority to exhort people to better behaviour.
"We failed to build a common European house," Steinmeier said. "I did not believe Vladimir Putin would embrace his country's complete economic, political and moral ruin for the sake of his imperial madness," he added.
"In this, I, like others, was mistaken."

Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection cant cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of herpes, HIV, diabetics etc by DR. Enato herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes virus for the past 3 years but DR. Enato cured me with his herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from HIV but to God be the glory, they were cured too .I know it is hard to believe but I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster,he casts spells to restore broken marriages and good luck spells to prosper and excel in life.Contact DR.
