Berlin was asked to forward the question on the application Yatsenyuk him
The Commissioner of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Germany Martin Schaefer has confirmed receipt by the office note verbale from the Russian foreign Ministry on the issue of the controversial statements of the head of the Ukrainian government Arseniy Yatsenyuk and made the initiative to forward this document to the most premiere. " I can assure you that in the last working day of the week in the evening, the Ministry has received a note verbale from the Russian Ministry. We knew in advance that this note will be prepared for it, because I learned about it from news agencies, " said Schaefer, RIA " Novosti." The Ukrainian Prime Minister, like any politician, citizen, or the athlete has the opportunity to say German media that it deems appropriate. At us it is an expression of freedom of opinion. Questions on the interpretation of utterances must be addressed not to the Federal government, and those who these phrases did, " said Schaefer. However, he considered it appropriate once again to formulate the position of Germany." Nazi Germany during world war II waged a terrible war of conquest regarding the Soviet Union. Until now it is impossible to forget the transgressions, and the damage that this war has inflicted under the auspices of Germany, causing untold suffering of countless Russians, Ukrainians and other people of the Soviet Union, " said the Commissioner of the Ministry. According to him, this war was conducted on the area of present-day Ukraine, which had committed terrible sins." The position of Germany on the question of this story is clear and remains absolutely unchanged, " added Schaefer. Remember, Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk during an interview on some German TV channels said that all I remember " the Soviet invasion of Germany and Ukraine ", later explaining his words. From my side, press Secretary to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Olga Lappo said Yatsenyuk said about the division of Germany after the Second world war. Speech Arseniy Yatseniuk has caused the expected sharp reaction in the Russian Federation and remained in practice completely unnoticed in the European Union. Head of the Federation Council international Affairs Konstantin Kosachev called it the phrase " in General, some historical and geographical nonsense ", as Ukraine was part of the USSR. The Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation requested the German position in connection with the " extremist statement Yatsenyuk, and Deputy Director of the Department of information and press of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova said that Ukraine blooms philosophy of megamanzero. Even in the Ministry of defence of Ukraine ridiculed message Yatsenyuk.
