Hardly. One can assume that from a foreiogn perspective, but nothign could be more wrong. Merkel seriously stood in Putin's way in the past years, and that he has neither forgotten, nor forgiven.

There seems to have been a big Russian bot-propaganda offensive running in social media in the past days, to help the AfD and to give Merkel headaches in the new Bundestag, and erode the fundaments of public political opinion forming in germany.
Macron voted into office, Merkel voted into office, the road is free for the coming 3 years. I am frightened of what france and Germany now maybe will start to pull off on EU level.
Watch your money, Germans.You will have to pay for France' dreams of glory and shine.
