Reference Message Network reported on April 15 that according to a report from RT website on April 14, Dmitry Medvedev, the former President of Russia and the current Vice Chairman of the Federal Security Council, accused Friedrich Merz, who is about to take office as the German Chancellor, of being a Nazi, because it was previously claimed that Merz suggested that Kiev destroy the Crimean Bridge.
The report said that Christian Democratic Union (CDU) chairman Merz told Germany's ARD television station that Berlin could provide Ukraine with long-range "Taurex" missiles, but only under the coordination with other EU countries.
Merz said that in the future, Kiev should use the missiles provided by the West to launch an offensive and destroy "the most important land route between Russia and Crimea".
Many critics believe that Merz referred to the Crimean Bridge, especially considering that since the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, Kiev has already attacked this bridge multiple times.
Medvedev posted on X on April 14, implying that Merz is following in his father's footsteps as a Nazi.
Medvedev wrote: "The candidate for Prime Minister Merz has always been troubled by memories of his father, who served in Hitler's Wehrmacht. Now, Merz implies an attack on the Crimean Bridge. Think twice, Nazi."
According to media reports, Joachim Merz, Friedrich Merz's father, was conscripted into the German Wehrmacht - the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany - around 1941. His maternal grandfather, Joseph Paul Sowine, joined the Nazi Party in 1933. (Compiled/ Feng Xue)
