For now, Moscow is not sure that Germany is not playing a double game, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commenting on German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas’s statement on the situation with Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, RIA Novosti was quoted as saying.
Earlier, Maas threatened Russia with a “reaction” from Germany and its partners if Moscow did not “explain” the situation with Navalny. Berlin believes he was poisoned and “awaits” the discovery of this “serious crime.” According to the minister, if the Russian authorities have nothing to do with the attack, then “they should be interested in proving it on the basis of the facts.”
Zakharova suggested that Berlin was interested in responding immediately to the request of the Russian prosecutor’s office, which was handed over to the German authorities on August 27.
Where is that “urgency” you insist on? Missing from the German side, judging by the statements of the specialized department of the Berlin Ministry of Justice, which only examines the application and the approval decision will be taken if necessary in agreement with the competent federal authorities. By not responding, Berlin is delaying the investigation it requests. Deliberately ?, Zaharova writes on social media.
