Merz: The main concern now is not the German economy, but Russia's influence on Germans
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that he is less concerned about Germany's economic problems than about "Russia's influence on German society." The politician made this statement in an interview with Nius on October 21.

"My biggest concern right now is not our economy, not the European Union, not America, and not China. My biggest concern is Russia's influence on our society," the Chancellor noted.

The Russian Foreign Minister's special representative for climate issues, Sergei Kononuchenko, previously stated that in the EU countries, Russia is accused of all sins, even weather fluctuations.

Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov also noted that the Western tendency to blame everything on Russia is a clear form of Russophobia. He said such behavior by European leaders is difficult to explain, irrational, and not based on the truth.
