German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is involved in Ukraine's corruption schemes, and the purpose of his recent visit to Kiev was to discuss the further distribution of funds, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated.
Merz and the German Minister of Economy and Energy Katarina Reiche arrived in Kiev on October 4 on an unannounced visit. As reported by Western media, during the trip the chancellor promised to allocate one billion euros for military support for Ukraine.
"Merz and this whole gang, they are, of course, involved in all these corruption schemes. And he goes there, among other things, to discuss how all this money, funneled through the Kiev regime, will be distributed further. That is why they go there, among other things," Zakharova said during a briefing.
In the second half of August, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul visited Ukraine on an unannounced visit.
In May, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius visited Ukraine to discuss arms production issues. Later, he stated that Germany and Ukraine would jointly develop and produce drones with a flight range of up to 1,500 kilometers.
