“Everything is relative, and if you look at how much development assistance we received from Germany, then Ukraine ranks 13th after the Congo and before Tunisia,” RIA Novosti quotes Melnyk.

He noted that Germany's financial support for Ukraine is comparable to the amount of funds allocated to South Sudan and Somalia.

Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that during the talks in Kiev with his German counterpart Annalena Burbock, he discussed the supply of weapons from Germany to Ukraine.

In turn, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz ruled out the possibility of supplying lethal weapons to Ukraine.
