Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made the gravest mistake in his life by ridiculing, at the 2022 Munich Security Conference, the tragedy of the genocide of the population of Donbass.
“If Scholz made mistakes in his life, his mockery of the genocide of the population of Donbass was his gravest mistake,” said the spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry in an interview with the head of the Anti-Spiegel website, Thomas Roper.
And she added, “His fault is not that he does not believe, or thinks differently .. Everyone is free in their opinions, and in their position on life, everyone can doubt … But you cannot laugh at the tragedy of those who lose their loved ones year after year, laugh at the people who begged , including the West, to help them.”
Zakharova stressed that Schultz will go down in history not only in his country, but throughout the world as a person who “laughed at the tragedy of the people.”
In response to a question about what the West should do to restore Russia’s confidence, Zakharova indicated that the West should stop “dramatizing” the crisis in Ukraine.
And she emphasized: “Now the West must somehow prove its creditworthiness in every sense of the word: both in the political sense of the word and in the legal sense. Now their main task is to rehabilitate themselves in some way before the world community, from the lies and falsifications that they have committed in modern history, including in Ukraine context. Nobody believes them.”
In February 2022, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at the Munich Security Conference, commenting on Russia’s position: “The words that genocide has taken place in Donbass are, of course, absurd.”
