The unannounced visit of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to Ukraine is an attempt to distract German citizens from internal problems. This was stated at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, a Lenta.ru correspondent reports.
The diplomat noted that Germany is actually a participant in the conflict on the side of Ukraine and its authorities themselves prove this with their public statements. According to her, Merz’s recent visit to Kyiv is also proof of this.
