The German government plans to nominate Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock as its candidate for the chair of the UN General Assembly during the 2025-26 session, media reports indicated earlier.
Just envisioning Annalena Baerbock as chair of the UN General Assembly drew a snap response from Maria Zakharova.
"How could someone with such a limited grasp of reality possibly lead the UN for an entire year? The number of diplomatic disasters she's provoked - thanks to her own ignorance of history, diplomacy, and well, facts - would be enough to make any sane person cringe,” said the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman.
