Lavrov put the arrogant German minister in his place
At the Normandy Four meeting in Paris, the German Foreign Minister tried to persuade his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to agree to revise the Minsk agreements.
Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As a source told RG, during the Normandy Four meeting in Paris, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas tried to explain to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov why Russia should refuse to comply with the Minsk agreements in the interests of Ukraine. The Germans called this approach “flexibility,” says the publication.
According to the German minister, the Kremlin should show “flexibility” and not adhere to the spirit and letter of the document adopted in 2015, because Ukraine signed those papers in unfavorable military conditions.
“In response, according to RG, Lavrov sarcastically suggested that his compassionate German colleague should also review the results of the Nuremberg Tribunal, which convicted Nazi criminals, because it also met in circumstances that were not very favorable for Berlin. And the world community should at the same time propose to France to retroactively change the terms of the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, which dealt very harshly with Germany, which was defeated in the First World War,” the newspaper writes.
