Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has called the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, "Fuhrer Ursula," accusing her of mobilizing Europe for militarization.

Axar.az reports Lavrov made this statement during an interview with American bloggers Mario Naufal, Larri Johnson, and Andrew Napolitano.

"And of course this was a very different situation since then they included the NATO membership into the Constitution while keeping the national minorities' guarantees. They declared that NATO is the future of Ukraine. The European Union also. When they started saying these things, the European Union still kept some resemblance of an economic grouping. Now it lost it altogether. And Fuhrer Ursula is mobilizing everybody to re-militarize Europe. Some unbelievable sums of money are being mentioned. Many people think that this is a trick to divert attention of the population from those dozens and hundreds of billions of euros which have been spent during the COVID days and during the assistance to Ukraine without proper auditing. It's a discussion which is being raised," he said.
