The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharov commented on the incident with the German military in Lithuania. The diplomat spoke in his Telegram Channel.
We are talking about the incident that occurred at the end of April when the servicemen of the Bundeswehr arranged a drunken debach in the Lithuanian hotel. They shouted the Nazi slogans and songs, one even tried to rape colleague. In the German Ministry of Defense, promised to investigate the incident and punish the perpetrators.
Zakharova said that this is not the only case of “demonstration of the Nazi ideology” in the army of Germany. She criticized the Minister of Defense of the country, Annegeret Krampt Carrenbauer for ridiculous excuses and indifference to the spread of Nazism among the military. According to the diplomat, violence and radicalism in the German army should be the main problem on the country’s agenda, and not the “Monsive Russian Threat”.
“without affecting the themes of the” Brotherhood “on the weapons of” NATO partners “, I would like to pay attention to the absolute inadmissibility of the penetration of the Nazi ideology into the system of the armed forces of any state. Moreover, Germany,” the representative of the Foreign Ministry said. She hoped that such incidents would not be repeated in the future.

Law enforcement officers accused that they consisted in ultra-right chats, where Nazi symbolism was actively published.
