Germany: Russia's border changes can't be vindicated - Steinmeier
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier gave a joint press conference with Brazilian Foreign Minister Luiz Alberto Figueiredo in Berlin on Friday.
Commenting on Crimea's accession to the Russian Federation, Steinmeier said that although "the border changes that Russia has precipitated" cannot, in his opinion, be vindicated, international efforts towards de-escalation must be pursued.
To mark the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Steinmeier also presented his Brazilian counterpart with a football signed by members of the German national squad.
