The summoning of the German Ambassador to Foreign Ministry. MFA Press release:
On July 13, the German Ambassador to Russia was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where he was informed of Berlin’s involvement in the Kiev regime’s terrorist strikes on civilian infrastructure in Russia.
The Ambassador was apprised of the unacceptability of Germany’s growing support for the Kiev regime, including the conclusion of military and military-technical agreements, direct arms supplies, and the organisation of joint ventures aimed at creating offensive capabilities to target peaceful facilities in Russia, including reconnaissance and strike UAVs, anti-aircraft missiles and rocket munitions used to attack civilian infrastructure.
The Ambassador was informed that Germany’s attempts to dictate to third countries, including official representatives of the People’s Republic of China, how and in what format they should build relations with Russia were unacceptable.
During the meeting, the Ambassador was told that the shift in the German propaganda apparatus’s information and communications activities towards the style of the worst practices of Nazi propaganda was immoral and provoked historically conditioned rejection and outrage among broad sections of our country’s population.
At the same time, we learned with no small degree of satisfaction that the German Ambassador to the Russian Federation will soon be returning by a petrol-powered car to his homeland upon completion of his posting.
