MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Germany is not at war with Russia, although some politicians want to attack it, any escalation in such a situation is undesirable, Bundestag member from the Alternative for Germany party Steffen Kotre told RIA Novosti.
"First of all, some of us want to attack Russia. The foreign minister [of Germany, Annalena Baerbock] said that we were at war with Russia. This is terrible, this is a huge lie. And this exacerbates [the situation]. And this leads to escalation," Kotre said on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week.
Escalation from any side — from the West or from Russia — is bad in any case, he added.
In 2023, Baerbock declared that European countries were waging a war against Russia. This statement was met with harsh criticism from various politicians even in Germany itself. The minister was later forced to admit her mistake.
