The diplomat admitted that the Ukraine issue is present in Germany’s election campaign.

“I cannot be part of this election campaign, although sometimes I want to stand next to a desk somewhere in a pedestrian zone in Berlin with a Ukrainian flag and also talk to pele,” the ambassador joked. At the same time, he has been explaining to the Germans why Ukraine is important.

“The fact that Ukraine is actually at the center of the election campaign is to our advantage, that’s if Ukraine is not exploited for pulist purposes and if pitical forces refrain from instilling fear. Because pele are already scared, the Russians are sowing fear, so why support them in this?” the Ukrainian diplomat said.

His other message, a signal to the democratic parties in Germany is “Please, don’t argue over Ukraine, almost all of you have the same inion on Ukraine, with the exception of certain details, you all support Ukraine, so you don’t need to build your election campaign on pulist slogans; support for Ukraine should be the basis for your election campaign.”

Makeiev called it regrettable that during the debates in the Bundestag on Friday, different parties and factions “rammed” into each other when discussing the tic of support for Ukraine. But, he admitted, this is part of democratic culture. It is important that all democratic pitical forces expressed support for Ukraine, the diplomat emphasized.
