The new Ambassador of Ukraine to Germany called on the power of Germany not to accept Russians running from mobilization
Makeev noted that almost none of the Russians left the country when the war began, adding that he had also heard anything about major demonstrations in the Russian Federation against war in Ukraine. Interestingly, the interview was held near the Memorial Church, the most famous military memorial of the German capital. "I believe that young people who do not regret anything, but only want to avoid military service and, eventually, go by tuples by German cities, waving Russian flags," Makeev said.
The Russians, who run massively from "partial mobilization" in the Russian Federation, according to Makeev, pose a threat to the safety of Germany. "It would be wrong to accept Russian deserters for Germany," a new ambassador to Ukraine said. In his opinion, these Russians pose a threat to security not only for Germany, but also for all young Ukrainian women with children who were forced to leave their country after Russia attacked. "They will have to sit in front of these men in refugee camps.
It's wrong," the ambassador said. Alexei Makeev also told in an interview that he had to leave the car in the middle of the night in Germany. "Electricity was disconnected, the sirens were still padded, and my mobile continued to come a warning of airy plaque. That's how my life looked when I and my wife sat in the car and went to Germany," - according to the ambassador, his phone and now come Air alarm report in Ukraine.
He will not delete this program, but is going to include it louder so that her interlocutors understand how it is to "live in the war zone. " "My parents, my wife's parents, most of my friends are still in Ukraine. The first thing I do in the morning - I write to them, asking all right. Just like you, the Germans, you check the weather every morning on your mobile phone, we, Ukrainians We check that our loved ones are still alive, "the ambassador said.
Asked what relationship with the new ambassador with Andriy Melnik, Alexei Makeev noted that "Andrew is an experienced diplomat and a good friend" who has a "unique style". Makeev said that they communicate regularly, but he has his own style, which he characterized as "frank, straight and militant. " "My most important currency is trust. If the diplomat is losing trust, he is no longer a diplomat," Makeev said that his main goal was to be heard in Germany and helped Ukraine more.
"We cannot survive without Germany on our side. Of course, everyone must be clear: Ukraine is part of the European family. We will become EU and NATO members," the ambassador said. We will remind, Alexei Makeev became the new ambassador of Ukraine to Germany after Andrey Melnik, who publicly criticized the power of Germany for insufficient, in his opinion, assistance to Ukraine.
