The Ukrainian ambassador has accused the German defense minister of lying about the secrecy of arms deliveries. If you look closely, it looks a little different.

Andriy Melnyk sounded very resolute, very determined and very sure of his cause when he made a harsh accusation on German television on Wednesday evening. The Ukrainian ambassador in Germany contradicted the statement by Federal Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) that his country insisted on secrecy when it came to German arms deliveries. “That’s not true. That’s the line the minister decided on,” said Melnyk on the ARD talk show “Maischberger/Die Woche”. No, unfortunately there is “no open dialogue about what we need,” Melnyk complained. “This dialogue is still very difficult on the 42nd day of the war and every day costs far too many lives”.
