Russia accuses Germany's Merzin: You're militarizing the country, serious cause for concern.

According to Reuters, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, at her weekly press conference, has declared that Germany has followed an open, hostile policy against Russia in recent years, and that Merz is escalating anti-Russian rhetoric “literally every day”.

This rhetoric is becoming increasingly aggressive and militant. We believe that the course he has chosen to escalate relations with Russia, in parallel with Germany's forced militarism, is a serious reason for concern ʹ first for Germany's own citizens,” Zakharova said.

We remember that Merz, a conservative who took office in May, has taken a harsher stance in supporting Ukraine than his Social Democrat predecessor, Olaf Schelz, and has pledged increasing pressure on Russia because of the war in Ukraine.

And under its direction, Germany aims to increase defence spending by 3.5% of domestic production Bruto (PBB) by 2029, after it just achieved its previous 2% NATO target in 2024. /Periscopi/
