2- 'You have enough weapons': German media slams Kiev ambassador's request for arms

Speaking to the
German radio station Deutschlandfunk (DLF) on Friday, Ukrainian Ambassador to
Germany Andriy Melnyk urged Berlin to provide Ukraine with lethal weaponry. In
response, his interviewer suggested that if there's one thing Ukraine doesn't
need, it's more weapons.
“What we are
asking for is defensive weapons; for example, if we had artillery
detection systems, it would reduce the risk of further escalation, because
the separatists would have to think twice about shelling, knowing
that they would face an immediate, precise, devastating response, he said.”
But in a
post-interview commentary, Melnyk interviewer Sabine Adler suggested that
Ukraine already has an enormous armory, and is fully capable of creating
the weapons systems it requires for itself.
"If there
is something Ukraine has an abundance of, it is armaments. Accordingly, she
added, Berlin should refuse to deliver such weapons, not only in the
interest of preserving the fragile peace in Donbass, but "because
Kiev's desire for them is simply incomprehensible".”
“Why does
Ukraine, which has been a gigantic weapons producer for decades, and one
of the largest arms exporters in the world, not manufacture these
weapons themselves, if they need them so badly? Adler asked.”
The journalist
warned that if Germany jumps in, it would jeopardize its role as an honest
broker in the conflict, reports Sputnik.
And the request
for lethal weapons isn't the only area where Kiev is acting in an
inconsistent manner, Adler complained. For example, the much-promised fight
against corruption continues even at the level of the
presidential administration, with President Poroshenko still not
fulfilling the promise made during his election campaign two years ago
to sell his companies. "Instead, he has installed similar
[oligarchic] clan structures, of the kind that the Maidan protests were
directed against," the journalist noted.
Moscow has
repeatedly warned Western countries against providing lethal weaponry
to Ukraine, suggesting that the move would only exacerbate the civil war
in the country's war-torn Donetsk and Lugansk republics. Officials
in some Western capitals have responded accordingly, suggested that the
provision of lethal weapons to Kiev could have deadly consequences.

Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Valeriy Chaly
expressed hope that the United States would soon give a positive
"signal" on granting Ukraine lethal weapons.
Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Valeriy
Chaly suggested Monday joint Ukrainian-US production of lethal weapons
on Ukrainian soil, reports Sputnik.
“This is my idea that could be implemented —
to produce weapons in cooperation with the Americans on the
Ukrainian territory, Chaly said in an interview.”
He also expressed hope that the United States would soon
give a positive "signal" on granting Ukraine lethal
weapons.

The situation
in the Donetsk People's Republic has not changed and remains tense.
Over the past
day the Ukrainian punishers violated the ceasefire regime 520 times.
The enemy keeps
using artillery for shelling the Republic's territory. In total there were
launched 114 artillery projectiles of 122mm and 152mm calibre, and 234
shells of 82mm and 120mm calibre. Besides, the enemy opened fire from infantry
fighting vehicles, grenade launchers and small arms.
War criminals
Gorbatyuk, Vodolazskiy, Zabolotny, Zubanich, Goraz and Panchenko continued
competing with each other in shelling the Republic’s localities for the purpose
of exterminating civilians.
Over the past
day there were shelled the following localities: Zaitsevo, Golmovsky,
Vasilievka, oorlivka, Krasny Partizan, Yasinovataya, Spartak, Staromikhailovka,
Aleksandrovka, Yelenovka, Dokuchayevsk, Grigorovka, Kominternovo and
Sakhanka.
Again civilians
of the Republic and their houses suffered from these war criminals’ actions.
Six houses sustained damage in the Zaitsevo
locality and the Petrovsky district of Donetsk.
One civilian, Babchenko Nikolai Vladimirovich,
born in 1974, died in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk.
Five civilians got wounded in Donetsk: Vysotsky
Alexander Evgenievich, born in 1978, in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk;
Baydalov Oleg Vladimirovich, born in 1978, in the Yasinovataya locality;
Vilchik Vladislav Ilyich, born in 1983, in the Zaitsevo locality; Dikun
Irina Vyacheslavovna, born in 1983, and Vasiliev Yury Ustinovich, born in 1959,
in the Kominternovo locality.
One soldier lied in the ranks of the DPR People’s
Militia.
We have
registered movement of the AFU equipment forbidden by the Minsk Agreements near
the contact line.
- Near Talakovka
(13 km away from the contact line) there were detected three 122-mm
towed howitzers D-30;
- Near Artyomovsk
(20 km away from the contact line) there was detected the arrival of up to two
mechanized companies, including 22 infantry fighting vehicles;
- Near Prokhorovka
(13 km away from the contact line) there was detected the arrival of nine
122-mm towed howitzers "Giatsint-B", two 120-mm motorised
mortar installations Nona-S, and also up to one mechanized company,
including nine infantry fighting vehicles;
- Near Granitnoye
(1,5 km away from the contact line) there were detected four mortars of
120mm calibre.
There is noted
enemy’s air reconnaissance conducted with application of the UAVs along the
whole contact line carrying out fire adjustment for artillery units.
All the data on
violations of the Minsk Agreements were passed to the OSCE Monitoring Mission
and JCCC representatives.
The Ukrainian
Ministry of Defence continues increasing efforts on media coverage of the AFU’s
alleged progress in the ATO zone in order to hide the true situation from the
public. So, Ukraine’s Deputy Defence Minister stated that already more than 30
thousand AFU soldiers had earned rewards for the destroyed equipment of the
People’s Republics Armed Forces and successfully performed tasks in the
so-called "anti-terrorist operation" zone for the total amount of 135
million hryvnias. Payments could have taken place – but for the AFU equipment
which had to be decommissioned for scrap after road accidents, fire unit’s
explosion and violations of operation requirements.
Thus, we see
another lie from the Ukrainian Defence Ministry representatives. I dare to
assure you that the DPR People’s Militia equipment and arms are in good repair
and ready to fighting application in case of the armed aggression on the part
of the Ukrainian punishers.
