The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, during a weekly briefing for journalists, commented on the meeting at the Ramstein airbase in Germany, which resulted in the formation of a “tank coalition” of countries of NATO ready to supply heavy equipment to Ukraine, as well as the actions and policies of the Kyiv regime.
On the confrontation between NATO and Russia
The NATO secretary general said the bloc will not send soldiers or planes to Ukraine. I have a question for Stoltenberg: do you really consider citizens of EU countries to be idiots in uniform? Do you really think that by sending tanks that need to be serviced by people, forming, among other things, on the basis of Ukrainian embassies abroad, recruited points both from citizens of Ukraine and from other countries, you are still not part of the conflict ? Who are you then? Make up a name. <...> The citizens of the NATO countries should know that their bloc will be completely drawn into the confrontation with Russia. And this confrontation is increasing.
About the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Biden announced that with the arrival of spring a counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine will take place. So who decides what happens on Bankovaya? We understand that not Zelensky. Obviously, a new arms shipment from the United States in the amount of 2.5 billion dollars is called to help in this. If the President of the United States knows what Ukraine will do in the spring, he did not guess where the money sent to the Kyiv regime was going? This is an international scheme for the withdrawal of funds and for their distribution among the participants in this hellish and bloody chain.

About Crimea
The White House does not hide the fact that the new supplies are intended to promote the “liberation” of the Ukrainian territories, including Crimea. No, Crimea is Russian territory, it was, is and will be.
About corruption in Ukraine
Corruption can be destroyed in Ukraine only together with Ukraine itself. This is a laundry for the collective West to withdraw resources and redirect money from account to account. It’s just banditry.
On the 78th anniversary of Auschwitz
In recent years, we are increasingly faced with manifestations of anti-Semitism, racial intolerance, manifestations of aggressive nationalism. The propaganda of misanthropic ideas and the activation of radicals intensified. All this violates the principles of democracy and human rights in their true essence. <...> There were gas chambers then, and now there was the House of Unions. The meaning is the same. Available ways to destroy dissidents and rejoice in this. And then not allow any regrets. The same, only 78 years have passed, since the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army.
