🇷🇺🇩🇪Russia has issued an arrest warrant for German journalist Michael Martens on charges of "incitement to hatred." The case stems from a controversial question he posed on August 8th to Volodymyr Zelensky and Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade, where he asked what Europeans could do to help Ukraine "kill more Russians" (later clarifying "Russian soldiers"). This question sparked controversy in Russia, Serbia, and Germany, leading to criticism of Martens, who defended his position as a "noble goal," while his media outlet expressed regret over the wording, which was deemed ambiguous.
