His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
“You have just thrown the foundations of the post-war period overboard.
Germany's special responsibility for the victims of the Second World War was meaningful,” said Bystron to Scholz.
Berlin's responsibility also extends to the millions of Soviet citizens who died in World War II, the politician said.
“Never again to fight, not to supply weapons to conflict zones - these were the foundations of Germany's foreign policy in the post-war period.
You will go down in history as the chancellor who kicked this legacy with his feet, ”he argued.
At the same time, the Russian side, commenting on Berlin's decision to supply tanks, stressed that this is an extremely dangerous step that takes the conflict in Ukraine to a new level of confrontation.
According to Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergei Nechaev, the choice of Berlin speaks of Germany's refusal to recognize historical responsibility to the people of Russia for crimes during the Great Patriotic War.
The decision of German politicians calls into question the possibility of their normalization in the foreseeable future, the diplomat stressed.
