The Ambassador of Ukraine accused Germany of cowardice because of the position on weapons

Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk criticized Berlin's decision to hand over five thousand helmets to Ukraine, calling it a "purely symbolic gesture," RIA Novosti reports with reference to the DPA.

The diplomat compared the assistance from the FRG with a "drop in the ocean", calling on the German government to "show courage".

“We do not need maneuvering tactics, but bold actions by the FRG, which will finally supply Ukraine with German defensive weapons, which we most need today,” Melnyk said.

According to him, by such actions, Berlin wanted to "stop the panic among the Ukrainian and European public."

Earlier, German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said that the country would send Ukraine 5,000 military helmets. She announced this at a meeting of the Bundestag Defense Committee.

Before that, it was reported that Germany did not allow Estonia to supply Ukraine with German-made artillery.
