BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday that Berlin was keen to have good relations with Moscow and was striving for a political solution to the conflict in Ukraine.

"We want to have good relations with Russia, but we can't accept breaches of international law and we will only find a political solution. There won't be a military solution to this conflict," Merkel told a conference of family business leaders.
