Volodin: Missile production plans in Ukraine dragging Germany into conflict with Russia

Moscow - Saba:
Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin announced on Saturday that missile production plans in Ukraine are increasingly pushing Germany toward conflict with Russia.
Sputnik News Agency quoted Volodin as saying in a letter addressed to Bundestag President Julia Klöckner and leaders of political parties in the German parliament: "We know that the German government is planning to start missile production in Ukraine, and in doing so, it is increasingly dragging Germany into military action against Russia. You understand what this could lead to."
The Russian State Duma Speaker asserted that the ruling elite in Germany is currently creating the preconditions for escalating the situation, provoking clashes between the two countries.
He added: "The question is, do the German people want this or not? We don't want it, but if it happens, we are ready."
The German Defense Ministry announced at the end of May, following a meeting between German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and his Ukrainian counterpart, Rustam Umerov, that Germany and Ukraine had signed an agreement to finance the production of long-range weapons within Ukraine.
It was also announced that approximately €5 billion ($5.7 billion) in military aid would be allocated to Kyiv, including the provision of air defense systems and ammunition. No precise details were disclosed regarding the type of systems or the value of the contracts.
Russia had previously sent a memorandum to NATO countries regarding the flow of Western weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized that any shipment containing weapons to Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russian forces.
Lavrov previously indicated that the United States and NATO were directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, "not only by sending weapons, but also by training military personnel in Britain, Germany, Italy, and other countries."
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov previously asserted that the West's supply of weapons to Ukraine contradicts a settlement, does not contribute to negotiations, and will even have a negative impact.

Sanaa condemns Zionist aggression on Iran

SANAA, June 13 (YPA) – The Sanaa government condemned the blatant Zionist attack that targeted the Iranian capital, Tehran, and several other cities. In a statement issued Friday, the government described the aggression as 'illegal and unjustified,' labeling it a new episode in the 'series of Zionist recklessness' in the region, backed by clear US involvement. It stated that the attack came following a systematic Western escalation against the Islamic Republic under the guise of the so-called International Atomic Energy Agency, stressing that fabricating pretexts is nothing new for the 'forces of evil.' The government viewed the unjust sanctions and brutal aggression against Iran as a desperate attempt by the United States and the Zionist entity to undermine Iran's principled and unwavering support for the Palestinian people. It expressed full confidence that Iran's support for the Palestinian cause will continue, asserting that 'the flame of resistance will remain burning despite any pressures, threats, or sacrifices.' The statement affirmed that the Islamic Republic, as always, 'will remain a support for the oppressed and will continue to work to end what is considered the crime of the age.' The Government also extended its deepest condolences to the people, leadership, and government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for all the martyrs who fell during the aggression. It expressed confidence in Iran's ability to respond to the attack and to any violations of its sovereignty and the rights of its people. The statement held the Zionist entity and its international partners—chief among them the United States—fully responsible for all the serious consequences and repercussions of this aggression. It concluded with a fiery message: 'Those who ignite fires in the region will be the ones burned by them, and the arrogance of power will inevitably shatter against the rock of truth and steadfastness.'
