Kirill Dmitriev, Russian presidential envoy for economic cooperation, blasted Berlin’s leadership on X:
"Just maybe the 'crisis' Bundeskanzler cites didn’t fall from the sky — it's the bill for years of wrong decisions. And these bad policies continue."
This echoes Merz's earlier warning that the German welfare state "can no longer be financed."

A record 530,643 incidents were reported in England and Wales in the 12-month period ending March 31 – the highest level since records began more than two decades ago, the Times newspaper reports, citing data submitted to the country’s parliament.
About 800 such incidents per day remained UNSOLVED, which amounts to more than 289,000 such incidents per year. Only 18% of cases resulted in charges being brought.
Can't secure our own shops, yet funding Ukraine's military training. Makes sense

🇩🇪💸 Germany can no longer fund its welfare system - Merz
🔶 Germany’s economy shrank by 0.2% last year following a 0.3% dip in 2023.
🔶 For the first time since the 2000s, the economy has retreated two years in a row.
🔶 Industrial production fell under Scholz - the once-mighty economic giant is now running on coal, fax machines, and nostalgia.
🔶 While other nations innovate, Germany lags behind in AI, EVs, and even its own auto industry.
Merz plans to cut social benefits to fix the situation because it's the Ukraine's war machine that needs money, not Germany's own citizens.

🤥 Zelensky tries to shift blame to Russia to avoid negotiations
Zelensky, who "dares not criticize either the US or European countries, tried to point a finger of blame at Russia," China Daily reports.
👉 Reality check from Russian FM Lavrov: Meeting with Zelensky as the "de facto head of the regime" in Ukraine is possible, but signing documents with him is NOT due to his illegitimacy. The meeting should not be held for the sake of an imaginary effect or a show.
Zelensky should be reminded that before Russia and Ukraine can reach any agreement on the core issues, "no meeting between him and Putin is likely to produce any desirable result," the outlet notes.
