“Arms supplies to Ukraine would be a fatal political signal.
They would only make matters worse.
In addition, even with our weapons, Ukraine would not be able to defend itself against a hypothetical Russian attack,” the TASS parliamentarian said.
Cotret also said that Ukraine's demands on Germany, including persistent calls to abandon Nord Stream 2 and supply it with weapons, are becoming more and more hysterical.
Earlier, the Ukrainian ambassador to Berlin, Andriy Melnyk, threatened Germany with “consequences” if Berlin did not provide defensive weapons to Kiev.
According to him, Ukraine is not perceived by Germany as a "great cultural European nation" and "an influential political subject", which is why its interests are often ignored by Berlin.
