With one characteristic derogatory expression reacted the ambassador of Ukraine in Berlin Andriy Melnik in the statement of the chancellor Olaf Solts that for the time being he does not plan to visit Kiev, due to the designation of the federal president Frank-Walter Steinmeier as undesirable on the Ukrainian side.
«Pretending to be the victim does not sound like much of a political leader“, Commented Melnik in an interview with the German News Agency dpa, describing Mr. Soltz with a popular German expression, as”offended sausage»(« Beleidigte Leberwurst »).
The Ukrainian diplomat, who has repeatedly provoked reactions to criticism of the German government for its stance on the warhowever, stressed that the chancellor remains welcome in Kyiv, but his country is not so interested in symbolic visits, as for the implementation by the governing coalition of the request of the Federal Parliament for the delivery of heavy weapons quickly and the fulfillment of the promises that have been given. At the same time, Andriy Melnik declined to comment on the issue with Steinmeier and said: “we are dealing with the most brutal war of extermination since the Nazi invasion of Ukraine, not a kindergarten».
