Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Stralsund offers the town hall as a place for peace talks

Stralsund (dpa / mv) - The Stralsund citizenship offers the town hall of the Hanseatic city for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. Mayor Alexander Badrow (CDU) was commissioned by the citizens on Thursday evening with a large majority to inform the federal government about the offer, as a city spokesman said. The city wants to help the warring parties finally get to the negotiating table. There is nothing more important than peace on earth.

"In Stralsund we have a great history of creating peace," the decision says. Reference was made to the Peace of Stralsund of 1370 and to a visit by Olof Palme in 1984. At that time the focus was on creating a nuclear-weapons-free containment belt in Central Europe. In 1370, a compromise was found in Stralsund between the Danish King Waldemar IV and the Hanseatic cities.
