La Germania minaccia di rimuovere l’ambasciatore russo in fila per le commemorazioni della Seconda Guerra Mondiale

That’s gonna have zero impact whatsoever.

Russia’s ambassador to Germany said he may defy attempts to bar him from attending events commemorating the end of World War Two.

**BERLIN – Germany’s Foreign Office has warned that the Russian ambassador could be forcibly removed if he proceeds with plans to attend German memorial ceremonies related to the Second World War.**

The ministry had handed down guidance that Russian and Belarusian representatives should not take part in upcoming events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the war in 1945. This was to prevent an instrumentalisation of commemorations by the countries responsible for the ongoing attack on Ukraine, the ministry said. 

The matter has since evolved into a diplomatic row, however, as Russia’s ambassador Sergey Nechayev had reacted defiantly, saying he could show up at respective events uninvited.  

“We don’t need a special invitation to honour the memory of the Soviet liberators and the victims of Nazism … in publicly accessible places,” he told the German Press Agency on Tuesday. 

Yet the row could escalate during events marking the anniversary of the liberation of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp on 4 May in Brandenburg. In light of the Russian comments, regional authorities vowed to follow the guidance and make use of their access rights to public memorials “in coordination with security forces” to prevent Nechayev from joining the event. 

Asked by Euractiv, the Foreign Office doubled down on its recommendations, which condone such robust action. 

“If someone is not invited and stands outside the door, you have to think about how to deal with it,” a spokesperson of the ministry said on Wednesday.  

“One of the options is to use domiciliary rights and not let the person in.” 

Notably, the city government of Berlin chimed in later, saying that it also expected Russia representatives to stay away. The German capital is home to three memorials for the Red Army, that are frequently visited on 9 May, the anniversary of Germany’s surrender, according to Moscow time. 

Nechayev has, however, signalled that he is not afraid of confrontation. Despite not being invited, he had attended last week’s commemoration of the four-day Battle of the Seelow Heights during which the Red Army encircled Berlin in April 1945. He was welcomed by local officials. 

Wouldn’t the ambassadors time be better spent supporting the relatives of those russians they are killing right now in a pointless war about Putin’s ego…

So he’s prepared to embarrass and denigrate the memory of those that died 80 years ago, and ignore the current deaths.. what charming country Russia really is.. people are just things to abuse, and this is proof.

What is it with Russians entering somewhere without invitation?

Victory Day nowadays is nothing more than a Parade of Putinism und Russism. It should be completely forbidden to celebrate it. Waving ruzzian flags in Europe should be declared an act of terror. Waving a russian flag is the technical equivalent of a swastika.
