THEY ARE ITCHING FOR WAR WITH RUSSIA! WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Putin scared of being hanged 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lets go Europe, give Russia its last blow
Hahaha world can’t stop laughing
Russian bots incoming
Merz and your ministers are foolish,no wonder you're going out of government.
What exactly is Germany’s response going to be? Expectations are on the floor sadly.
Imagine being gullible enough to believe this 🤡
Blaming Russia Russia Russia 😅😅😅😅 the American colognes EUROPE
Germany you can do far better than this… Please grow a pair and gain your sovereignty back after how long ? Also be fair to Russia , they are truly not your enemy…
Germany becoume a clown 🤡 state 🤑
Germany looking the other way is not a strong enough response.
Liars, just like they lied about the pipelines Ukraine sabotaged.
Easy mode
We are tired of hearing this blaming game everyday because we know when somebody hates alot they will always blame you for everything without any proof and that's what some of these countries do. Remember when the nordstream was blown away, they said it was Putin himself who did it through a small boat but now we discovered it was the Ukrainians by the help of the EU and US.😅😅😅
German and germans think germany is some sort of "powerful" country the world fears…😂😂,, lil bro,, just take a seat…
History tells us:Since 1897, Germany has consistently stood on the wrong side of international disputes.
How about peace?
If they are able to attack a plane in Germany, why russians do not try to attack directly plane of Zelensky in Ukraine ? 🤔🫵Zelensky is flying all the world since war started.
– "Someone farted, it stinks"
– "A Russian hybrid attack for sure"
The Nord Stream 2 pipeline was blown up; whom has the German government condemned so far? 🤣
Nicht Germany, sondern paar Vollpfosten aus Berlin. Diese Inszenierung glauben vielleicht paar Vollidioten aber sicherlich nicht jemand mit Verstand
Lol. So Germany thinks it should be able to fund and arm a war indefinitely with increasing escalations into Russian territory but be removed from the violence it is causing?
(Shadowed Banned) This is just a small warning Shot for the Terrorist attacks been sponsored by Germany on Civilians in Russia……
Germany needs to respond by increasing military support for Ukraine, because that’s what Germans want to happen.
Let's wait another 4 years before German government finds out it was Ukrainians.
What
And we will keep supporting Ukraine anyway.🙄
These comments are full of Russian bots. We need to lock out the Russians from interacting with our tech.
What? The consulate closure in Bonn is linked to mobilization in Russia. DW, stop embarrassing yourself.
The whole plan was to see how they would react. How did they react? They wrote an angry letter.
Economy collapsing and someone is needed for blaming.
No proof or whatsoever. The car-industry is gone, so they now put all efforts on the war-industry.
I didn't know Germany is sharing border with Russia 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Give Ukraine Taurus cruise missiles in response.
Now do something Germany!!!
How strange—the Russian Federation is always to blame for everything; surely that is why they are paying inflated prices for fuel. The political leaders, who have no regard for the noble German people, suffer from Russophobia and are like sheep being driven toward a precipice.
Oh no! It's time to internalize that information and frown at the UN when Russia speaks.
30 or 40 more such attacks, and Germany may need to write a strongly worded letter.
Thank you Germany for supporting Ukraine! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤
German secret services should start offering money to Russians to launch attacks like this at Russian airports. You shouldn't throw rocks in glass houses Putin. Just start offering 10k online anonymous crypto currency to anyone that launches one of these attacks in a Russian airport. Do it one time I bet you won't see this again.
Good job Russia 🇷🇺 keep going ❤❤❤❤❤ keep attacking viva Russia 🇷🇺 slava Russia 🇷🇺
This will not AFD from coming to power……Better change your politics
Always Russia
Stop treating russia as a country…….when its a mafia gang !!
This is absolutely unacceptable. There must be a massive, extremely heavy response from Germany and the EU.
Sauron and his orcs did this!!!1elf
I'm lazy to report all the russian bots. Wonder how long putin can pay them.
Germany should, in response, support Ukraine even more.
Maybe this drone was thrown out of a Ukrainian cargo plane?) I just haven't seen any evidence of Russia's involvement in this, there's simply nothing.
Who blew up Nordstream? Not much outrage over that attack.
