German Chanellor Angela Merkel is the subject of a ruthless parody in the Ukrainian social media comparing her with Joachim von Ribbentrop for her supposed over-close relations to Moscow and specifically Vladimir Putin.
Pictures are mocking her recent meeting with the Kremlin leader at the World Cup Final in Rio de Janeiro, accusing her of being the block to potent EU sanctions against Moscow because of German gas needs.
'Danke, Frau Ribbentrop', reads one sarcastic message that has gone viral on the Ukrainian web.

Fancy depicting Merkel as the a Nazi, when it's thanks to the neo-nazi groups in the Ukraine that the elected government was toppled -- and they've got seats in government, as I understand.
DM just seems to enjoy stirring up the anti-German sentiment.
** Actually, it's two for the price of one: Germany & Russia. LOL
