Germany’s current leaders “have inherited Nazi genes in large numbers,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Tsargrad TV. According to him, Germany is now ruled by “the children of the German army and the SS”, their actions “absolutely confirming the principle that children are not responsible for their parents, grandparents”.
As an example, the Russian minister quoted statements by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his German counterpart Annalena Burbock that “Ukraine fights and sheds blood for European values”.
“Thus, they associate themselves with the neo-Nazi regime, which does not hide its lines for the rehabilitation of criminals, the marches of the Azov* battalions with SS symbols, chevrons and under banners directly removed from the standards of Nazi Germany . and Nazi symbols. All this is beyond the ears, ”says Lavrov.
Europe, according to the minister, “has completely lost its independence”, ceding all NATO positions and fixing the “superiority of NATO structures” in the corresponding declaration.
In this regard, Lavrov calls the Europeans “the party most affected by what is happening around, with the exception of the Ukrainian people”, since the United States forces them at their own expense to “pump Ukraine with weapons , funds to maintain a basic budget balance and to pay pensions, benefits and salaries.
Suffer from the actions of the United States and other countries that the West is pressuring to force them to join the sanctions, says the head of Russian diplomacy. Lavrov said “friends from Africa and Latin America” are complaining about the West, which just “got them” with demands to join the sanctions.
” I asked, <…> what they were offered in return economically, financially. <…> Looking down, they say that in exchange they promise not to punish them. It’s ‘diplomacy’,” said the Russian minister.
Likewise, according to Lavrov, the West is pressuring Russia’s closest allies – the EAEU and CIS countries, putting them in a “very uncomfortable position between two fires”. He countered this pressure with the allied relations built by Russia and cited the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) as an example.
“CSTO allies are not what NATO has. Take Turkey, Hungary. There, they are forced to follow the “party line”, there is a real “stick discipline”, the United States decides there. <…> All members of the CSTO work on the basis of consensus and respect the nuances, sometimes important, always present in real life on one side or the other,” said the head of Russian diplomacy.
According to him, the United States and its allies are also trying to use “direct bribery” and “outright provocations” instead of diplomacy to “turn the tide”. “They say to the Armenians (we have such information): they say, come to us, drive the Russians out of your territory, and the border guards too, take away the military base, the Americans will help provide security,” he quoted Lavrov. example.
Countries and political forces that have already accepted the West’s demands or are going to do so, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry warned, could then be “abandoned” and “go into the bushes”. According to Lavrov, that is exactly what the Americans did with the Afghan leadership. Likewise, the Minister did not rule out, the United States could behave with the current Ukrainian authorities: “Political scientists write a lot about this. It is expected that all of this will continue for as long as Americans need it.
