A significant improvement in relations between Russia and Germany is unlikely to happen should current German Chancellor Angela Merkel win the next parliamentary election, the head of the Federation Committee on Foreign Affairs Konstantin Kosachev told RIA Novosti.

Angela Merkel has officially confirmed her intention to run for the fourth term as German chancellor.

“I have today told the National Board [of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany Party Merkel belongs to, CDU] that I am ready to present my candidature for the position of chancellor again,” Merkel said on Sunday.

Kosachev told RIA Novosti that Merkel is a “German version of Hillary Clinton.” He also recalled that Merkel is one of the initiators of the new EU’s tough policy towards Russia.
