Former Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk. Archival photoMOSCOW, Oct 10Former Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk reacted aggressively on Twitter to a question from Left Party (Die Linke) member Ezgi Guyildar about his son’s desire to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The German politician claims that the young a person continues to study in Germany.
"Why is Melnik's son still studying in Berlin, and not fighting for his country in Ukraine and for our freedom?" Guyildar asked.
The Ukrainian diplomat evaded answering and called Die Linke an «inhuman and terrible» party, and the woman herself «shameless».
"Good luck in the elections in Lower Saxony. Worry about your left-wing dirt", Melnyk said.
Later, Guyildar said that the ex-ambassador of Ukraine to Germany had blacklisted her account on the social network. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Andriy Melnyk from the post of ambassador in Germany in July. The diplomat is known for provocative statements. So, he repeatedly demanded that Berlin provide weapons to Kyiv, compared German Chancellor Olaf Scholz with «offended liver sausage.» He later expressed regret over these words. Aleksey Makeev, who previously served as the government's special representative for international sanctions policy, was appointed to replace Melnik. Ukrainian ex-ambassador Melnyk repented for his tweets
