Ukraine appreciates Germany's political support, but is disappointed with Berlin's reluctance to provide weapons to Kiev. This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in an interview published on Sunday for the German newspaper Die Welt.
"We are disappointed with Germany's refusal to approve the supply of defense weapons to Ukraine," he said. According to him, this disappoints not only politicians but also the public. "Unfortunately, Ukrainians will remember this for decades to come, and for me as head of the foreign ministry, it is very sad," Kuleba said.
Germany, contrary to the demands of the Ukrainian side, has repeatedly stated that it will not sell deadly weapons to Kiev. Berlin explains this by the fact that it does not make such deliveries in crisis regions. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Foreign Minister Analena Burbock and Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht spoke about this.
Berlin has allocated 5.3 million euros for a mobile field hospital for the Ukrainian army and will hand it over in February.
