Zakharova called Berbock narrow-minded because of the statement about sanctions. Zakharova also recalled the situation when Baerbock shouted into the microphone at a G20 meeting: “Sergey Lavrov, I am addressing you!” Earlier, the head of the German Foreign Ministry said in an interview with journalist Stefan Lambi that she was disappointed with the economic effect of sanctions against Russia.
The German diplomat previously said that no one in Europe believed that sanctions would stop Russia when they were introduced.
