Berlin is reviving its Nazi past by supplying Ukraine with weapons, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Germany is reviving its Nazi past by supplying Ukraine with weapons to attack Russia, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has said. Berlin\u2019s stance could lead to a new armed conflict with Moscow decades after the end of World War II, the top MP warned.<\/p>\n

In a letter published on the State Duma website on Wednesday, Volodin expressed outrage over Germany\u2019s ongoing military aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cGermany\u2019s 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,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Volodin noted that German tanks appeared on Russian soil for the first time since World War II during Kiev\u2019s recent incursion into Kursk Region. He warned that ongoing discussions in Berlin on sending long-range Taurus missiles to Kiev, capable of striking targets as far away as Moscow, are even more escalatory, as the sophisticated weapons would require German military personnel to operate them.<\/p>\n

\u201cGerman 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,\u201d<\/em> he warned, questioning whether the Bundestag had a mandate from German voters for war with Russia.<\/p>\n

Volodin\u2019s comments followed recent statements from German officials on World War II and the current conflict in Ukraine. Last week, ahead of D-Day commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the operation was the day \u201cwhen the Americans ended the war in Europe.\u201d<\/em> While speaking with US President Donald Trump, Merz suggested that Washington is in a \u201cstrong position\u201d<\/em> to play a similar role in the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Moscow condemned Merz\u2019s comments and accused him of \u201crewriting and distorting history\u201d<\/em> to justify present policies, in a letter addressed to Bundestag President Julia Kloeckner. Kloeckner in response claimed it was Moscow that \u201creinterpreted historical and political events.\u201d<\/em> She defended the \u201cdemocratically elected government in Kiev\u201d<\/em> and Germany\u2019s military support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Replying to Kloeckner, Volodin acknowledged the Allies\u2019 contribution but emphasized the Soviet Union\u2019s key role in defeating Nazism.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the Soviet Union that made the decisive contribution to the victory and lost 27 million people in the struggle, the USA \u2013 418,000, Great Britain \u2013 about 300,000, and France capitulated to Nazi Germany,\u201d<\/em> he recalled.<\/p>\n

Volodin stressed that the Soviet Union and then Russia have never antagonized Germany and have sought good relations, including through opposing its division and later playing a key role in its reunification in 1990.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
