“Firstly, the idea of genocide is absolutely wrong and frankly offensive.
This devalues the word itself, to put it mildly, ”TASS quotes Blinken.
According to him, “this is not happening, because OSCE observers are working on the Ukrainian side to the dividing line, who check what is happening there and what is not happening.”
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that, according to the Russian side, what is happening now in the Donbass is genocide.
Scholz, during his speech at the Munich Security Conference, called the statements about the genocide of the population in the Donbass ridiculous.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the Russian Foreign Ministry, after the statements of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about the genocide in Donbass, would soon send materials to Germany on mass graves in the region.
