The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry spoke about Germany during a meeting of the UN Security Council in New York.

Sergei Lavrov called Berlin's decision a "humiliation."

The head of the department spoke at a meeting on multilateral cooperation in the interests of creating a more just, democratic and sustainable world order.

Lavrov decided to raise an issue that has been discussed since last week, RIA Novosti reports.

He noted that the German government “unquestioningly submitted” to the decision taken in Washington.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called Germany's agreement to deploy US-owned medium-range land-based missiles on its territory "yet another humiliation."

The Pentagon has already confirmed that American hypersonic missiles will appear in Germany. Their deployment will begin in 2026.

They will remain in Germany until one of the leading NATO countries creates its own analogues of this weapon.
