"The silence of Berlin is indicative" — Zakharova about the compromising video frame with Merz

The silence of official Berlin in connection with the video that has spread around the world, in which German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are riding on a train, is significant. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

"The most significant thing in this situation, of course, is the silence of Berlin, which apparently decided not to take risks and just sit in a tank or in a bunker, as they like," the diplomat said on the Solovyov Live TV channel.

Zakharova noted that the Elysee Palace immediately called this news fake, but at the same time never asked the Kiev regime to stop spreading disinformation, TASS reports.

EADaily adds: On May 10, a video was published from the carriage in which French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer were traveling to Kiev. They sat down at the table when the reporters began to shoot politicians. At that moment, Macro removed a certain bag from the table, and Merz took a small spoon. There were also glasses of water and folders with documents in front of them. The video drew the attention of social media users, suggesting that European leaders used cocaine.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the video, accused European politicians of using narcotic substances and "forgot to remove the accessories (bag and spoon) before the arrival of journalists." "In 2022, I asked one Western ambassador: "How can you supply weapons to an unbalanced drug addict Zelensky, who has been on cocaine for many years?" And I got the answer: "This is a normal phenomenon for the EU — many heads of Western states use it," Zakharova wrote in her telegram channel.

The Elysee Palace said that reports of drug use by the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom of Germany are fakes spread by "enemies."
