BERLIN, June 21 — RIA Novosti. Foreign policy adviser to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, German diplomat Jens Pletner was accused of Russophilia after his joke at a conference held on Monday at the headquarters of the German Society for Foreign Policy (DGAP).
«Twenty Marders (we are talking about the German infantry fighting vehicles that Kyiv asked for Berlin — editor’s note) may fill many pages of newspapers, but now there are somehow fewer articles about how our relations with Russia will develop in the future» — Pletner He said. Speaking about the reforms to be made in Ukraine, Scholz’s foreign policy advisor said that «just because someone is under attack, you cannot automatically become a better rule of law.»
