Medvedev: Proposed Abduction of 'Neo-Nazi' German Chancellor Merz

Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president, has proposed the abduction of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, labeling him a “neo-Nazi.” This statement comes two days after the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the United States. Medvedev claims there are grounds to prosecute Merz in Germany and that his abduction would be an “excellent twist.” He also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him an illegitimate leader due to the lack of elections in Ukraine. These statements are considered highly provocative and are part of the ongoing rhetoric of tension between Russia and the West.
