Zakharova ironically responded to Merz's statements about Germany's plans

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asked which historical era Friedrich Merz, the leader of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU), wants to repeat. She wrote about this in her Telegram channel on April 19.

On this day, Merz posted on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter) wrote that Germany can once again take responsibility for what is happening in Europe and the world.

"Again" is a repeat of which historical era, would you like to clarify?" she wrote, commenting on the entry of the candidate for chancellor of Germany.

Merz's decision is not supported by his junior coalition partners.

On April 14, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov drew attention to the fact that Merz, who announced Berlin's readiness to send long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine if agreed with partners, is a supporter of the escalation of the conflict. The press secretary of the Russian president added that a similar position is supported in other capitals of the EU countries.
