MOSCOW, April 15-RIA Novosti. Ukrainian Ambassador Andriy Melnyk in Berlin called on Western countries to think about returning his country's nuclear status. He said this on the radio station Deutschlandfunk.
He said that Ukraine needs not only moral support, but also modern weapons systems.
Later, on his Twitter page, he also added that Kiev demands strong military support from Germany, as well as as soon as possible to accept Ukraine into NATO.
Recently, tensions in the conflict zone in the Donbas have increased significantly. Against this background, the West accuses Russia of increasing "aggressive actions" and demands to explain the movement of troops in the Crimea and in the Rostov region, near the Ukrainian border. The Kremlin said that the troops are moving on Russian territory and this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone.
Moscow has repeatedly stressed that it is not a party to the internal Ukrainian conflict and is interested in Kiev overcoming the political and economic crisis.
