Ambassador of Ukraine commented on the resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy


Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy MelnykBERLIN, Jan 23Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk welcomed the resignation of the Commander of the German Navy, Vice Admiral Kai-Achim Schönbach, who had previously stated that Crimea would not return to Ukraine. German Defense Ministry Christina Lambrecht accepted her resignation. «We welcome that Schönbach resigned,» Melnyk told the German newspaper Welt, stressing that the incident «seriously calls into question the international authority and reliability of Germany — not only from the Ukrainian point of view «. According to Melnyk, Schönbach's words «plunged the entire Ukrainian public into a deep shock.» Earlier, speaking in India, Vice Admiral and Commander of the German Navy Kai-Achim Schönbach said that Crimea would never return to Ukraine: «The Crimean peninsula is gone, it will not come back». Regarding Western accusations against Russia that Moscow could allegedly plan to destabilize Ukraine, the Vice Admiral said that this was «nonsense.» India and Germany need Russia to confront the PRC, Schönbach said, pointing out that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants «respect on an equal footing» from the West, and «it's easy to give him (Putin — ed.) the respect he demands — and which he, probably deserves it.» Shenbakh later said on Twitter that his statements were «an obvious mistake» and «reckless, misjudged in this situation.» The Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that it is open to dialogue with the West on the basis of mutual respect, but it is not her fault for the deterioration of relations. Crimea became Russian after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which 96.77% of Crimean voters and 95.6% of Sevastopol residents voted for joining the Russian Federation. Ukraine still considers Crimea its own, but temporarily occupied territory. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the inhabitants of Crimea democratically, in full accordance with international law and the UN Charter, voted for reunification with Russia. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Crimea issue is «finally closed».
