Berlin condemned erstwhile Russian president Dmitri Medvedev for his proposition that Chancellor Friedrich Merz could be kidnapped, as did Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, but did not give an opinion on the US's actions themselves.
A erstwhile Russian leader and vice-president of the UN safety Council made witty comments on Sunday about US military action in Venezuela in an interview with TASS, suggesting that he is besides considering a akin operation against Merz.
"The kidnapping of neo-Nazi Merza can be an excellent turn of events including carnivals" – said Medvedev, adding that in this script is besides "The seed of reality".
These statements were raised during a Monday press conference in Berlin, where German political writer Pauline Jackels interviewed government spokesperson Sebastian Hill on the matter.
erstwhile asked if Berlin accepted Medvedev's words as a good coin, Hille replied yes.
"As you can imagine, of course we have noted these statements and, as you can besides imagine, the national government condemns all forms of specified statements and threats with all severity" – he said.
Jackels continued to push the Ombudsman, asking if the government accepted ‘purely hypothetical threat’ kidnapping of abroad leader and “He marries her with all severity”, but it does not do so if specified an incidental actually occurs.
However, the Ombudsman did not give any coherent reply.
"I don't know where you're going with this, but I'm happy to repeat what I just said." said Hille, stressing that it was time to end the press conference.
The US Army captured Maduro and his wife during a Saturday raid and transported them to fresh York City.
The couple is presently charged with a number of crimes, including drug trafficking.
Venezuelan president denied all allegations, calling himself "a prisoner of war".
Germany, like most European countries and the EU as a whole, reacted to the US military action against Venezuela and the kidnapping of the country's leader.
Merz did not support or condemn the incident, simply stating that "the legal assessment of US intervention is complex and requires careful consideration".
