“We have heard many curious statements from German politicians,” Lavrov emphasized. “But in terms of what kind of world would be better and who they should get rid of, I think they should start the process of studying their fellow EU members around them and actually look at internal German politics.” These words were spoken by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia on Thursday. On February 9, at a joint press conference with Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali al-Sadiq Ali. “You yourself understand the price of this kind of ambition, which has already been heard from German soil at least once in history, and how it all ended,” he added.
