Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy MelnykMOSCOW, 9 Feb. Germany provides Kiev with financial support comparable to Somalia or South Sudan, Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnik said on Deutschlandfunk. «Only everything is relative, and if you look at how much development assistance we received from Germany, then Ukraine ranks 13th after the Congo and before Tunisia,» he lamented.

However, as he pointed out, China alone receives almost 500 million euros for development from Germany, and Ukraine in this list is on the same level as South Sudan or Somalia. «Over the past seven years, Ukraine has received 0.5 percent of more than 130 billion euros in development aid. The prioritization looks different,» the ambassador complained. Melnik regularly makes dubious remarks. Thus, he stated that Berlin should help Kiev regain control of Crimea: according to him, this is Germany's moral duty, arising from «the eternal historical responsibility to Ukraine for Nazi tyranny.» In addition, he said that the same «historical responsibility» obliges Berlin to seek Ukraine's entry into NATO. verbal attack» Ukraine because of the supply of weapons
