Andrij Melnyk, dismissed from his post as Ukrainian Ambassador to Berlin, was appointed Deputy Head of the MFA of that country.
Andrij Melnyk From December 2014 to July 2022 he held the post of Ukrainian Ambassador to Berlin. Until the invasion of Russia, and Ukraine on a full scale, Melnyk was alternatively an anonymous diplomat, he did not stand out, he did not shock.
But erstwhile Putin invaded Ukraine Melnyk began to play an crucial function in... harming diplomatic relations on the Berlin – Kiev line and more.
In addition to the aggressive approach to the German government and demanding aid from Olaf Scholz's crew, Melnyk besides warmed up the moods associated with Bandera and the cult of nationalists, which was not much liked by Warsaw.
His statements to 1 of the German journalists, even as he was a Ukrainian ambassador, may have affected Polish-Ukrainian relations, on which Zelensk very much cares.
Let us remind that in the program “Jung und Naiv” he said that the Ukrainians were treated by the Second Polish Republic the same way as Nazi Germany and USSR due to the fact that they were persecuted by it.
He besides claimed that CNS and Bandery's anti-Semitism is simply a “Russian narrative” and he himself does not distance himself from this heritage. – Bandera was not a mass murderer of Jews and Poles – he argued.
That's why his resignation was so relieved.. After a fewer months, the diplomat returned to the salons and virtually got promoted, which was picked up as a slap not only by the PiS government, but besides the Scholz government.
