“You need to understand the context in which this phrase stood.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is convinced that we must continue to support Ukraine, that this is in the interests of Germany, in the interests of the German people, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Burger noted that during her speech, Burbock emphasized that support for Ukraine would inevitably lead to social consequences in German society.
In addition, according to him, Burbock insisted that the people of Germany should not be left alone with all the difficulties that arose against the backdrop of the Ukrainian crisis.
“It is very important not to take such formulations out of context, but at least try to understand the context in which they were voiced, and not to spread such interpretations without questioning them,” he concluded.
Earlier, Burbock said at a forum in the Czech Republic that it is more important for her to keep her promise to Ukraine than what German voters think.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called such a statement "fantastic", noting that it is "just right in the vein" of talk about the need for early elections in some EU countries.
