Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova says German foreign minister and ministry contradict one another
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Friday asked the German ambassador to Moscow to clarify Germany’s status in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
“The German foreign minister (Annalena Baerbock) says that her country, along with other countries, is at war with Russia. The same ministry does not consider its country a party to the conflict. Given these contradictory statements, the German ambassador to Russia should clarify them,” Maria Zakharova said on Telegram.
On Wednesday, Baerbock, speaking at a session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, said: “Germany is already at war with Russia.”
On Thursday, the German Foreign Ministry said that providing support to Kyiv does not make Germany a party to the conflict in Ukraine.
