Former Chancellor of Germany and Putin's friend hospitalized due to burnout.


Gerhard Schröder is undergoing treatment for emotional burnout
The former federal chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Schröder, is in clinical treatment for emotional burnout. This was stated by his lawyer in response to a request from the German agency DPA.
The cancellation of Schröder's participation in the work of the Schwerin parliamentary commission, which investigated the construction of the 'Nord Stream 2' gas pipeline, became the reason for speculation about his health.
In his statement to the investigative committee, Schröder's doctor confirmed that the politician suffers from 'typical burnout syndrome with energy depletion and acute lack of sleep.' He is also experiencing problems with attention, memory, and sleep.
Schröder's family asks the public to respect the patient's private life.
Former Chancellor joined Russian companies
81-year-old Gerhard Schröder, after completing his chancellorship, joined Russian companies controlling the 'Nord Stream' gas pipeline. However, due to his health, he refused to testify before the investigative committee.
Gerhard Schröder led Germany from 1998 to 2005. He actively supported the interests of the Russian regime and the company 'Gazprom'. He was also the chairman of Nord Stream 2 AG, which was involved in the construction of the 'Nord Stream 2' gas pipeline. For his work, he received a salary of €250,000 per month.
Earlier, Gerhard Schröder expressed the view that the USA interrupted the 'peace negotiations' between Ukraine and Russia. He refused to cut ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin and supported the idea that the war could only be limited through negotiations.
