Germany has been accused of failing to help defend Ukraine from a possible attack from Russia.
The ambassador added that Germany should join allies in sending defensive weapons to Ukraine and to"help prevent this new war that Russia is apparently playing."
Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz is expected to allay concerns over Berlin's stance towards Ukraine when he holds talks with U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington later on Monday, in his first trip to the U.S. since becoming chancellor. Instead of sending weapons to Kyiv, Berlin has instead offered to provide 5,000 protective helmets and a field hospital. This was met with disbelief and derision in some quarters of Ukraine.‘It’s a joke’: Germany’s offer of 5,000 helmets to Ukraine is met with disdain amid Russia invasion fears
There have also been reports that Germany stopped Estonia from sending weapons to Ukraine, and Ukraine's defense minister has said that Berlin blocked Ukraine's attempts to procure weapons via NATO.
