Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk lamented that his country is not perceived by Germany as a "great cultural European nation" and "an influential political subject." He stated this in an interview with the Ukrinform agency.

Melnyk sees this as the reason why Kiev's interests are often ignored by Berlin. At the same time, he believes that, nevertheless, Ukrainian diplomats in Germany "were able to powerfully declare" themselves, as a result of which the German elite, the "journalistic beau monde" "know that there is a Ukraine that has its own goals and confidently paves its way."

The Ukrainian diplomat called the main challenge in the bilateral relations of the states that Berlin can "easily afford" not to take into account the interests of Kiev. In this, the ambassador blamed the shortcomings of diplomats over the past 30 years. He believes that Kiev itself did not declare itself as a great cultural European nation.

Earlier, Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk called on Germany to finally abandon Nord Stream 2.
