The human rights activist believes that the killing was an attempt to intimidate the entire Russian opposition and could be related to the conflict in Ukraine, as the Germans are going to make public the evidence that Russia is waging war there. According to Schultz, Nemtsov in Russia believe, and if he has published such information, it would have caused a great resonance.

Schultz also said that he met with Nemtsov back in the 1990s, during one of his visits to Russia. According to him, the Russian politician was already actively interested in Western culture and democracy.
