Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has been hospitalized for severe burnout, as reported by dpa. His lawyer revealed he entered clinical treatment following a doctor's assessment. At 80 years old, Schröder has faced increasing criticism due to his connections with Russian state-owned energy companies, especially since the onset of the Ukraine conflict. He has refused to sever ties with Putin and has become distanced from Germany’s political landscape. Recently, he skipped a parliamentary inquiry regarding the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which he had overseen, citing illness and the pipeline’s subsequent damage in 2022.
Schröder's lawyer stated he went into clinical treatment on the doctor's advice, emphasizing the seriousness of his condition and the need for professional care.
Schröder's connections to Russian energy firms have made him a controversial figure, particularly following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the damage to Nord Stream 2.
