Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel laid flowers to the grave of an unknown soldier near the walls of the Kremlin during his visit to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, writes RIA Novosti.
The Agency’s correspondent said that Merkel passed by the building of the guard guard and laid a wreath with ribbons in the colors of the German tricolor. This was followed by a minute of silence, and then the orchestra performed the German anthem. After the ceremony, the leader of the FRG sat in the car and went to the Kremlin to negotiate.
Earlier on the same day, Putin on the eve of the negotiations declared that he had a lot of questions from Merkel, which they need to discuss personally – look at regular phone calls. He expressed the hope that the visit of the Chancellor to Moscow to negotiate with him would not only be forgiven for her, but will be filled with “serious business content”
