Former Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk. Archival photoMOSCOW, 1 Aug. Financial Times readers criticized an interview with former Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk, in which he tried to justify harsh remarks about German politicians and calls for an increase in military aid to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thus, users noted that, holding such an important post, he behaved inappropriately and touched on topics outside his area of expertise.In Montenegro, Ukrainians were expelled from the beach due to a provocation with a flag «An absurd interview that hushed up what a terrible person Melnik is. He has such megalomania that every week he told how many followers he had on Twitter,» the commentator wrote.
"This article is too soft. Melnik did not beg for help, but demanded it, as if he were the governor of a Ukrainian colony and collected tribute. By doing this, he caused enormous damage to German-Ukrainian relations. The icing on the cake was the fact that Melnik turned out to be a fan of Bandera, a man who was involved in the murder of thousands of Jews and Poles and supported the Nazis", another noted.
«Begged for help?» No. Very far from the truth. This follower of Bandera never begged. He only commanded with contempt and even appointed himself the only moral authority in Europe,” another reader emphasized. “You, Mr. Melnik, could try diplomacy. It is not necessary to insult someone every time you say something. Your goal was to prepare provocations, that's all,» the second one stated. Farewell, Mr Melnik. May the tailwind that drives you to Ukraine never change direction. And the fact that you were called in Germany “a plug in every barrel” is still too polite,” concluded a third. Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree on the dismissal of Andriy Melnyk, Ambassador to Germany, whose statements have repeatedly caused a resonance. So, the diplomat compared German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to «offended liver sausage» (he later expressed regret about these words), and in June he was criticized because of statements about Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera. Svoboda», to which the laws are not written, and also denied his involvement in the killings of the Polish population. money
