Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, said his country “continues to be denied weapons that Germany can provide.” If the German side continues to refuse and the Russian army actually enters Ukraine, the Ukrainians will never forget this betrayal by the Germans, Melnyk told the BILD TV channel.
