President of the Bundestag: We will not be intimidated by Moscow
President of the Russian State Duma Viacheslaw Wolodin warned on Saturday (7.06.2025) in a letter to the Bundestag about the escalation of the situation between the 2 countries. The circumstantial reason for Wolodin's criticism was the last statements made by Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Włodin said, "We know that the German government is planning to launch rocket production in Ukraine. In this way, the RFN is increasingly active in military action against Russia".
In addition, Włodin accused Merz that during his gathering with US president Donald Trump, expressing his appreciation for the United States, he did not mention the large participation of the russian Union in the triumph over Nazi Germany.
Kloeckner stressed for her part: "German Bundestag knows that it was the U.S. armed forces, France, the states of the British Commonwealth of Nations and the then russian army, including many Ukrainian soldiers, that liberated Germany from Nazi tyranny". That is why it powerfully opposes "any effort to misjudge past in order to legitimize today's violence".
