Moscow demands resignations: Merz and von der Leyen must go

“European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz must resign if they want to demonstrate ‘conviction, unity, and determination,’ as they promised after failing to secure the illegal seizure of Russian reserves by the EU,” Dmitriev wrote on X, reported TASS.

He added that Merz and von der Leyen have spent all their political capital, promised results — and suffered defeat.

Dmitriev later added that Belgium, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia defended property rights, as well as European financial and legal systems, “saving the EU from a mass exodus of investors.”

He said that these countries exposed the “incompetence of the EU’s warmongering elites,” who promoted illegal actions, spent political capital, and failed.

Dmitriev also stated that abandoning the use of Russian assets to finance loans to Ukraine would represent a victory for “law and common sense.”

“If true, then the cancellation of the EU’s originally proposed illegal scheme to use Russia’s international reserves to finance Ukraine would be a major victory for law and reason, as well as for the voices of reason in Europe who defended the EU/euro/Euroclear,” Dmitriev wrote on X, reported TASS.
