Germany has Apologized for a Leopard Joke that offended Africans

Germany apologized yesterday for using a leopard emoji  to mock Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Twitter, which offended Africans, the Associated Press reported, quoted by BTA.

Germany's foreign ministry joked with Russia's foreign minister during his tour of Africa, tweeting that he was not there to look for leopards but was trying to justify Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Lavrov: "We asked the Americans..."

The United States of America has conveyed through diplomatic channels that it does not want and will not enter into a direct confrontation with Russia.
They also added that they will not send military experts to Ukraine in connection with the delivery of the Patriot air defense system, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
