You asked for a source on the claim the other guy made, I posted one for you that talks about her comments
the quote was all that was relevant and its honestly not half as bad as youre making it out to be.
your link has comments from the literal Russian press director. the fact that Maria Zakharova, a Russian bureaucrat, thinks Merkel's comments are enough to warrant a tribunal is fucking hilarious

You missed my reply regarding code pink btw
What sort of Russian propaganda has she pushed? Apart from NATO being responsible for the war, which i agree with actually despite receiving exactly 0 rubles for holding this opinion.
look at their website for fucks sake lol
if you want to actually read an article on the history of their shenanigans, check this out -
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/443275-calling-out-code-pinks-ignorance-and-hypocrisy/the rich husband of codepink's co-founder is directly tied to groups that promote pro-Chinese/Russian propaganda in addition to promoting anti-Nato/anti-US Ukraine aid messaging. he describes himself as a socialist and publicly said that Venezuela under Chavez was a "phenomenally democratic place"
he was also in legal trouble in India 2 years ago for giving $5 million to an Indian News Site to push pro-Chinese propaganda in Indian media. are you starting to get a grasp on the kind of people codepink consists of? this guy is one of their biggest financial backers (that we know of)

In August 2023, The New York Times reported[23] that Singham works closely with the Chinese government and state media, and donates to various groups, news organizations and entities through non-profit groups and shell companies which spread pro-Chinese government messages. The non-profits distributing the funding included the United Community Fund, Justice and Education Fund and People's Support Foundation, have addresses at UPS store mailboxes in Illinois, Wisconsin and New York, and headed by Jodie Evans or former ThoughtWorks employees. Funded groups include: an Indian-based independent news site, NewsClick, that the Times described as having "sprinkled its coverage with Chinese government talking points"; in South Africa the Nkrumah School, the Socialist Revolutionary Workers Party and the New Frame news startup[24] (whose editor had resigned in 2022 citing its "soft coverage" of China and Russia); the Brasil de Fato newspaper in Brazil; and activist groups No Cold War, Code Pink, People’s Forum, and Tricontinental in the United States. In response to the Times report, Singham said that he was not a "member of, work for, take orders from, or follow instructions of any political party or government or their representatives".[9]

Of course RT and Sputnik would focus on those sorts of stories from the US, that doesn't mean they are somehow in league with eachother. It's basically the same sort of propaganda the Soviet Union produced during the cold war, they highlighted social issues in the US to inflame divisions/domestic propaganda, but that doesn't mean the social issues didn't exist or that the people they wrote about were Russian agents.
I agree with most of this but I absolutely believe that they are in cahoots, at least to some degree
