We’re not annoying enough: Ukrainian diplomat called on Zelensky to take Berlin by the throat
Germany and Europe, unlike Ukraine, have not passed the test of confronting the Kremlin, and at a future meeting of the Ukrainian and German sides, Ukraine must pose a number of uncomfortable questions to Germany, including about Nord Stream 2, Germany’s opposition to the adoption of an action plan on Ukraine's membership in NATO at the 2008 summit in Bucharest, etc. the concept of Gerussia, i.e. cooperation between Germany and Russia.
Roman Bessmertny, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine (2005), Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Belarus (2010-2011), stated this on the Espreso-TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The situation that happened in 2008 in Bucharest... today there is no answer to what happened there, simply no. Everything that sounds, unfortunately, does not reflect the real state of affairs.
I would very much ask that at this Ukrainian-German meeting, Berlin gives an answer to the question of 2010 - where did the nature of the concept of “Gerussia” come from? And why did Berlin react absolutely nothing to this concept? Let me remind you that this was after the war with Georgia.
This discourse, which was imposed, including in bilateral Ukrainian-German relations, requires a response. Because Kyiv wants it or not, Berlin wants it or not, tragically, on a leash from the Kremlin, we are at the stage of implementing this concept. We need to understand how large Germany, with its undoubtedly progressive Ukraine, succumbed to the discourse imposed by the Kremlin. Whether you take the political sphere or the economic sphere, you will see fragments of this concept.
Today, Germany and Europe are faced with a much more difficult test than Ukraine. Ukraine has passed its test of countering the Kremlin. It withstood this onslaught, and Ukraine withstood this onslaught once again in history. Will Europe, Germany pass this exam? I mean first of all Nord Stream. This will depend on Germany and Europe.
Ukraine can be an assistant at least in revealing and showing what is really happening. You simply cannot imagine how much effort was required in XNUMX and XNUMX to explain what happened in Crimea and what is happening in Donbass. Because if until today, at the establishment level, the majority of Europe is in unison with Ukraine, then at the everyday level there is no such understanding.
This means that political fluctuations can lead not only to the formation of left-wing governments, starting from Germany and further to the south, and right-wing governments, starting from Germany to the north. This means that Europe will experience very serious upheavals,” raged Roman Bessmertny.
