Look, the country that was putting soviet citizens in concentration camps and tried to starve St. Petersburg out doesn’t have shit to say about who gets to mourn their dead and who doesn’t. It’s straight up disrespectful and definitely not Germany’s place to say anything. Like honestly, what’s the worst the Russian ambassador could do? No one is asking to let him hold a speech. So what could he even do that’s so bad? Start a fist fight with the Ukrainian ambassador? Lol
The people that committed the crimes of Nazi Germany are dead, and good riddance to them. Modern Germany is doing the right thing by commemorating their defeat. They can do that on their own terms in their own country. People don’t get to just do whatever they want in Germany on the basis of being from a country that suffered under the Nazis.
Nobody is asking Nechayev to make a speech, but nobody is asking him to attend either and he still plans to do that. Nechayev described this commemoration as “part of the path to our reconciliation”, so he clearly thinks of it as something Germany should be doing in order to be friendlier with Russia despite Russia’s actions

The country kidnapping Ukrainian kids while starving Kiev can go fuck themselves
