“I am addressing my colleagues at the German Foreign Ministry.

In connection with the statements of Chancellor Scholz about the “ridiculousness of allegations of genocide in the Donbass”, in the near future we will send you materials on mass graves in this region for the German leadership to familiarize themselves with them,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

She clarified that “the Russian side cannot publish these materials, as any platform will block them as “inappropriate content”.

Earlier, 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.

In turn, the official representative of the State Department, Ned Price, expressed the opinion that the statements about the genocide in the Donbass are devoid of any grounds.

Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said that statements by US officials questioning the fact of the genocide in Donbass are a manifestation of cynicism and double standards.
