Russia Says Germany Is Pushing for War

(MENAFN) Germany's decision to provide Ukraine with weaponry for use against Russia has drawn harsh criticism from State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, who claims that Berlin is revisiting its Nazi-era legacy.

Volodin cautioned that this policy could potentially spark a new military confrontation with Moscow, decades after the conclusion of World War II.

In a statement posted on the State Duma’s official platform on Wednesday, Volodin expressed strong disapproval of Germany's continued arms assistance to Ukraine.

He stated, “Germany’s transfer of weapons to the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine, which are used against civilians, is in itself a reason for a conflict between our countries.”

Volodin pointed out that German tanks had once again entered Russian territory for the first time since World War II, referencing a recent Ukrainian operation in the Kursk Region.

He further warned that debates in Berlin concerning the provision of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine could worsen the situation.

These advanced systems, capable of reaching Moscow, would allegedly necessitate the involvement of German personnel to function effectively.

“German missiles will hit Russia and this will be done by German officers. With this, you are once again pushing Germany and the German people into another armed conflict with Russia,” he declared, questioning whether the Bundestag had the democratic legitimacy from German citizens to engage in a war with Russia.
