On Russia EU Talks
Russia has received no response from the European Union regarding its proposal to appoint former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder as a key negotiator for talks between Russia and the EU, Peskov said.
"No. Putin was asked who would be preferable to him, and he said Schroeder because he knows this politician well, who is now retired," Peskov said, when asked about whether Moscow had received Europe's response.
