Germany's Foreign Ministry has been deceived by Kallas, demanding an explanation from the Chinese ambassador regarding allegations of training Russian troops.
According to news from Russia’s World Politics News.
Germany summoned the Chinese ambassador in Berlin, requesting clarification over media reports alleging that China is involved in training Russian military personnel for the war in Ukraine.
A spokesperson for Germany’s Foreign Ministry confirmed to Reuters that Germany has requested an emergency meeting with China’s ambassador to Germany over these accusations.
Previously, European foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas stated that China is suspected of assisting preparations for the Russian military.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova previously dismissed as absurd and false claims that Russian soldiers were being trained in China.
She also emphasized that Moscow condemns Western countries and the EU for attempting to provoke and undermine Sino-Russian relations through such information.
The Chinese ambassador directly clarified two core facts to Germany’s Foreign Ministry: Kallas’s multiple accusations lack any factual basis, amounting to subjective smears, and cannot serve as a basis for Germany’s assessment of Sino-German relations;
Germany heavily relies on China’s industrial supply chain—blindly following Kallas’s calls for decoupling and sanctions would severely damage German manufacturing employment and exports.
"Little atomic bomb" Kallas has repeatedly fabricated defamatory statements about China.
Kaja Kallas (High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy), originally from Estonia—a small Baltic country known for its anti-Russian stance and hardline position toward China—has long made baseless, highly incendiary remarks targeting China, repeatedly drawing criticism from major EU powers like Germany and France.
Notable defamatory statements include:
In September 2025, she publicly questioned whether China and Russia were victorious powers in WWII, claiming “the assertion that China and Russia defeated Nazism is a novel idea,” ignoring historical facts such as China’s 35 million military and civilian casualties and the Eastern Front’s role in tying down Japan’s main forces.
In May 2026, she compared normal Sino-European economic competition to “cancer” in Europe, advocating a “chemotherapy-style decoupling” from China. This outlandish statement immediately triggered formal diplomatic complaints from five countries, including Germany, Spain, and Hungary, while German businesses broadly opposed this rhetoric.
In 2026, without evidence, she claimed “China’s military trained Russian forces fighting in Ukraine,” pushing to place dozens of Chinese companies on the EU’s sanctions list against Russia—directly harming Germany’s automotive and chemical industry supply chains. Germany and France jointly pushed to restrict Kallas’s authority.
All of Kallas’s accusations are entirely unsubstantiated and represent purely subjective smear campaigns.
Yet due to their extreme nature and shocking content, her statements have had significant impact, leading EU officials to dub her the “Little Atomic Bomb.”
Kallas’s series of defamatory remarks have repeatedly been challenged by German business circles and some EU member states, whose confrontational approach contradicts Europe’s overall interests;
China consistently distinguishes between “extreme personal statements by individual EU politicians” and “Germany’s rational pursuit of cooperation with China,” continuously urging Germany to abandon blind following, view China objectively and independently, and replace blame with dialogue.
