Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that in Germany in Baden-Baden, where many Russians fired Igor Golod from Odessa from the Rizzi restaurant, who recorded a video message to the citizens of the Russian Federation about the war that this country unleashed against Ukraine.
– When I was Ambassador to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, I traveled several times to neighboring Baden-Baden in Germany. A picturesque, quiet, surprisingly elegant city. But also a German city with a surprisingly large number of Russians. They love Russia, but choose Germany for life. And it is there that a scandalous story has now happened,” the minister said.
Kuleba specified that Hunger had recorded a video message to the Russians because of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
– According to available information the management of the restaurant, oriented to the Russian-speaking population of Baden-Baden, did not like the truth about the thousands of dead Ukrainian civilians, more than a hundred children killed, dozens of cities destroyed as a result of the aggression of Russian troops. My signal to all putinfersteiners (fershtein is the German word verstehen, in translation – to understand, that is, those who treat Putin with understanding and loyalty, despite any of his actions – Ed.), – Putin's supporters in Germany and other countries – you are the same as the pilots of Russian planes that kill Ukrainian civilians,” the Foreign Minister said.
He added that with the tacit consent of such people or even their open support, for twenty-seven consecutive days, Ukrainian children hide in basements from Russian bombs.
Kuleba recalled that 117 children had already died and 155 children were injured, and adults cannot bury their loved ones because of artillery shelling.
– You are also responsible for the war crimes of the Russian army in Mariupol, Kharkov, Sumy, Volnovakha, Kherson and other parts of Ukraine. Rizzi, you in Baden-Baden are worried about your reputation in the eyes of Russian-speaking customers. And you must understand that right now your reputation has come to an end. And even the most effective German detergents will not wash the blood of the innocently killed from your hands and from your restaurant, the minister emphasized.
Kuleba specified that Odessa Hunger is provided with the necessary assistance – legal advice, and are also in touch with a lawyer and the mayor's office in order to protect the interests of the Ukrainian.
– We will not back down as long as he needs our help.The Ukrainian state will not allow anyone to offend its citizens.Neither in Ukraine, nor abroad. We at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will strongly respond to cases of disrespect. And not only us, but, I am convinced, every citizen who will now do what is in his power, for the sake of justice, the minister concluded.
