Lavrov Warns Germany: “Stop the Madness!”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov strongly reacted to the statement made by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz regarding the supply of weapons to Ukraine and the financing of their joint production.

When journalists asked Lavrov to comment on Merz's remarks at the press conference, he recalled that the German leader spoke about plans to finance the production of missiles capable of hitting targets at any range within Ukraine.

“If I understood correctly what I read, Chancellor Merz said at the press conference from the very beginning that he intends to finance the production of long-range missiles on Ukrainian territory. Apparently, it’s not about Germany delivering such missiles itself. But both actions escalate the situation and fuel the war. Germany is becoming more directly involved in this conflict and is clearly supporting it,” said Lavrov.

Earlier, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had announced the lifting of restrictions on the types of weapons delivered to Kyiv, as well as plans to fund their joint production.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry described these actions as “support for the war” and called on Germany to “stop the madness.” Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
