Moscow - The German Chancellor, Mr Gerhard Schroder, promised yesterday to help Russia make its anti-crisis plan internationally acceptable but said Bonn could no longer dip into its own pocket to provide financial help. He made clear he wanted to shift the emphasis away from personal ties with the ailing President Boris Yeltsin.
Speaking after meeting the Prime Minister, Mr Yevgeny Primakov, Mr Schroder said co-operation meant coming up with a programme that would be internationally acceptable - an implicit signal Bonn believes the plan is flawed.
