Germany is responsible for the situation in Ukraine and must provide the country with defensive weapons. This statement was made by the Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, in a commentary to the newspapers of the German media group Funke, the German news channel n-tv reports.
“We have every right to self-defense,” the ambassador stressed.
In his opinion, Germany bears “the same historical responsibility for Ukraine as for Israel.”
“Therefore, it is expected that massive military support from Germany in Kiev will raise the cost of preventing an impending attack by Putin,” Melnik said.
In addition, the diplomat called on the German government to work hard to ensure that Ukraine joins NATO and the EU as soon as possible.
“Because only if Ukraine becomes an integral part of the North Atlantic Pact, Putin will forever get rid of the temptation to attack us,” Melnyk said.
Today, the risk of a Russian invasion of Ukraine remains high. “All signal lights are flashing bright red,” the ambassador says.
The Ukrainian Ambassador warned about the consequences in case of refusal.
“Germany’s refusal to supply defense weapons causes great discontent in Ukrainian society and may have serious consequences for bilateral relations,” the ambassador added.
