MOSCOW, October 3. /TASS/. Relations between Berlin and Moscow have reached a low point and "there is no light at the end of the tunnel," German Ambassador to Russia Geza Andreas von Geyr said at a reception dedicated to German Unity Day on Monday.

"The Russian leadership has labeled Germany and all of our close partners as ‘unfriendly countries.’ Our political relations have reached their lowest point and there is no light at the end of the tunnel, there is even no tunnel to see," the envoy pointed out.

The German ambassador also touched upon developments in Ukraine, reiterating Berlin’s position on the issue. According to him, the activities of German diplomats in Russia are currently aimed at achieving the goal that German Unity Day symbolizes, which is "strengthening peace and freedom."

German Unity Day is Germany’s National Day and a public holiday. On October 3, 1990, five states of the former German Democratic Republic (Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia) joined the Federal Republic of Germany.
