Mr. Danilov said that if German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants Germans to fight against Russians near Berlin and Stuttgart, then he ‘can continue this game, conducting sociological research on whether Ukraine needs to be given tanks or not’.

Kiev, as well as Germany's Western partners, have repeatedly demanded that it step up the supply of military equipment for the Ukrainian army. In particular, the former Ambassador of Ukraine to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, has sharply criticised the German authorities’ position many times.
