“We can imagine that Mrs. Merkel is really right.” The Kremlin makes charges after the former Chancellor aroused heated criticisms in Europe

The Kremlin held on Tuesday the recent statements of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to which Poland and Baltic countries have blocked efforts to organize EU and Russia negotiations before the beginning of Ukraine, from 2022, writes the Russian independent publication The Moscow Times.

“In many issues of foreign policy, the EU and Brussels are obviously hostatic to the fanatical policies of the Baltic and Warsaw states,” Kremlin spokesman told reporters.

“We can imagine that Mrs. Merkel is really right in this regard,” Peskov added.

In an interview published last Friday by the Hungarian Partisan publication, Merkel said that Poland and the three Baltic states sabotaged a proposal that she and the French President Emmanuel Macron made in June 2021 to resume the dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin-an initiative that, according to the former Căcelar, could prevent the former Chancellor, Ukraine.

“They were afraid that we will not be able to develop a common policy towards Russia,” Merkel told the partisan, adding that the lack of unity in the European Union eventually led to the proposal.

At the end of the interview, Angela Merkel said that Moscow should not win the war, and Ukraine must remain a sovereign and free state.

Merkel left the position, after four mandates, in December 2021, two months before Putin was large in the widespread invasion of Ukraine.

Its statements in the Hungarian press have triggered harsh convictions throughout Eastern Europe.

Former Prime Minister Latvian Krisjanis Karins accused Merkel of wrongly judging Russia “then now”, while Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna insisted that “Russia is the only guilty” for the conflict.

Also in Estonia, Merkel's accusations were criticized by the head of the Tallino Foreign Affairs Commission, Marko Mihkelson, who stated that her statements “cast a shadow” on her chancellor.

In Poland, former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki cataloged Merkel as “a declared lobbyist” and “one of the most harmful German political personalities.” Moreover, Morawiecki accused her of allowing Europe's dependence on Russian energy and that he had encouraged the Kremlin.

Other Polish officials said that Merkel's statements risk strengthening Russian propaganda on the causes of war.

The Kremlin has long accused Western leaders of having no pressure on Ukraine to comply with the terms of fire termination after the 2014 armed conflict, against the country, against rebels supported by Russia. Moscow used this argument, in part, to justify its invasion of 2022 triggered in Ukraine.
