Territorial dispute
Moscow’s Ministry of Foreign Ambassador Lambsdorff appoints
Moscow is outraged, German diplomats in question in the territorial integrity of Russia. Ambassador Lambsdorff is therefore ordered to the Foreign Ministry – and returns the criticism.
The German ambassador in Moscow, Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, has been reordered in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry warned Germany in a protest note of questioning the results of the Second World War and thus not recognizing the southern Kuril Islands claimed by Japan as part of Russia. This is a post -war order recognized by the United Nations. “Russian sovereignty is undisputed here,” said the Ministry.
The reason for the entry was therefore statements by the German ambassador in Japan, Petra Sigmund. Moscow accused the diplomat that she had questioned the Russian sovereignty over the islands and thus openly attacked the territorial integrity of the country. The German side has been pointed out that solidarity with Japan’s legislative regulations with legally non -preserving areas was “particularly mocking” in the year, since the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and also the breakdown of a militaristic Japan was committed.
Ambassador rejects allegations and criticizes Russia’s war
“We reject the accusation that the statements supposedly violated Russia’s sovereignty,” said the German Embassy in Moscow. Lambsdorff therefore criticized the fact that a visit to the ambassador Sigmund and another diplomat in the Japanese city of Nemuro on the island of Hokkaido near the southern Kurils is taken as an occasion for protest, “while Russia at the same time with several hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Ukraine”.
The ambassador had repeatedly publicly criticized the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “Russia’s revisionism is the problem of international politics of our time, because it is Moscow that knowingly and continues both the basic principles of the European Peace Ordinance and that of the UN charta,” said the message.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Ambassador Lambsdorff had only ordered at the end of June to inform him about “retaliation measures” in response to the alleged persecution of Russian journalists in Germany.
