MOSCOW, January 9. /TASS/. Russia has asked Berlin to clarify Germany’s official position on a bizarre statement made by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk, who told a German TV channel the USSR had invaded Germany and Ukraine at the end of World War II and Moscow would not be allowed to rewrite history.

“We sent a note to the German Foreign Minister with a request to formulate Germany’s official position on the extremist statement made by Prime Minister Yatsenyuk, who overtly falsified history,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Titov told reporters.
