Germany's refusal to grant compensation to all survivors of the siege of Leningrad, regardless of their origin, is a shame. This is what the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said at the "Knowledge" marathon. Unity," reports RIA Novosti. The diplomat pointed out that Moscow repeatedly brought up in talks with Berlin the issue of paying compensation to all the survivors of the siege, regardless of their origin, but the German authorities simply refrained from replying. "What is this? This is a disgrace," said a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. In June Zakharova stated that, under unfounded pretexts, Germany only grants payments to the Jewish survivors of the siege, while recognizing them as victims of the Holocaust, while refusing to grant compensation to the other defenders and residents of the city who survived the siege.
