Ukraineʼs new ambassador to Germany, Oleksii Makeiev, arrived in Berlin and announced that he would work on increasing arms supplies to Ukraine.
He said this on his Twitter.
"Thank you to the federal government for all the help and weapons that have been sent to Ukraine so that we can defend ourselves in this barbaric war. I have to be frank: we need more, much more. And I will work so that we Europeans — Ukrainians and Germans — make our Europe safe," the ambassador said in a video message in German.
- On July 9, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed a number of ambassadors of Ukraine in various countries. In particular, the president fired Andrii Melnyk, the ambassador to Germany, who became very famous in that country thanks to merciless criticism of the local government for its stance on aid to Ukraine.
- On September 23, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi signed a decree on the appointment of a new ambassador of Ukraine to Germany. He became Oleksii Makeiev.
