MUNICH (dpa-AFX) – Bavaria’s Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) would like to see trade relations with Russia resumed as quickly as possible. “We wish that the Middle East and other regions of the world would also find peace. We would also like this for the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Here too I say: in the distant perspective and the closer the better “We want to be able to enter into trade relations again with democratic states, Ukraine and Russia,” said Aiwanger on Sunday evening in Munich. “It won’t be normal today or tomorrow. But at the end of this journey we want peace.” Projections saw the Free Voters in the Bavarian state election with a vote share of more than 15 percent and thus with significant gains compared to 2018 (11.6 percent)./bsj/DP/zb
