Under current leaders, Germany and Europe degrade into 'Fourth Reich'

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claims that Germany and Europe are degrading into a "Fourth Reich" under current leadership. He expresses concern over European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's proposal to raise 800 billion euros for defense needs. Lavrov points to German Chancellor's calls for military enhancement and possible reintroduction of conscription as alarming signs.

He criticizes the tone from German officials, stating, "the defense minister...has declared readiness to kill Russian soldiers." This stance reflects the growing tensions and potential militarization in the region.
