Russia says: Bah, Blah, Blah... ja, n00bs : D Merkel never took the position of her predecessor Gerhard Schröder, who saw himself as an advocate for Russia in Europe, but she, too, has tried to increase understanding for Russian interests in Europe. The best example was the NATO summit in Bucharest in April 2008, when she and French president Nicholas Sarkozy rejected a plan by US President George W. Bush to offer Ukraine and Georgia membership in the EU. Her position was widely put down to German respect for Russian interests at a time when the recent election of Russian president Dmitri Medvedev had led to hopes for a new era in Russian-European relations.
