Zakharova called the statement about Russia's use of "hunger as a weapon" a lie

“An illiterate and cynical lie,” she wrote on Telegram.

Zakharova noted that using hunger as a weapon is "just in the historical traditions of Germany."

She added that “since the beginning of 2022, Germany has actually doubled its imports of agricultural goods.”

“It does not seem that the German authorities in deeds, and not in words, were very worried about the problems of potential famine,” Zakharova said.

Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev reacted to the words of Burbock, reminding her how Germany kept Leningrad in a blockade for 900 days.
