(Bloomberg) -- Regarding European Union sanctions imposed
on Russia over Ukraine: “The goal was never to pitch Russia
into economic and political chaos,” German Economy Minister
Sigmar Gabriel is cited by Bild am Sonntag newspaper as saying
in interview.
* “Those who want this are provoking a much more dangerous
situation for all of us in Europe. After all, Russia is a
nuclear power”: Gabriel in Bild
* “On the contrary, the sanctions imposed up until now were
only aimed at getting Russia back to the negotiating table.
Those who now want to further economically and politically
destabilize Russia are following an entirely different
agenda. Some of them in Europe and others in the U.S. want
to see the old superpower rival definitively down and out”:
Gabriel in Bild
* “We want to help resolve the conflict in Ukraine but don’t
want to force Russia to its knees”: Gabriel in Bild
* Russia needed as a partner to deal with issues such as fight
against Islamic State in Iraq, civil war in Syria and Iran’s
nuclear program, Gabriel says
* Gabriel says while he would like Russian President Vladimir
Putin to attend a G-8 meeting in Germany this year, he has
little hope the Russian leader will attend the summit
* NOTE: Gabriel is member of Social Democratic Party which
serves as junior coalition partner to Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s Christian Democratic bloc
* NOTE: Germany’s Gabriel Says High Energy Costs Threatening
Jobs: Bild
* NOTE Jan. 3: Germany’s Gabriel Sees Flaws in Decade-Old
