“We consider the supply of weapons to Ukraine absolutely counterproductive.
This does not contribute to a peaceful resolution of the conflict,” he said in an interview with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland.
According to the diplomat, the supply of weapons to Kiev is provoking nationalist and extremist forces in Ukraine into uncontrolled actions that could provoke another crisis.
Nechaev also pointed out that possible supplies from the FRG would be a bad signal for German-Russian relations.
“We definitely do not want this conflict to break out.
We are peaceful people and do not need a war with our neighbor,” the ambassador stressed.
Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz ruled out the possibility of supplying lethal weapons to Ukraine.
Bundestag deputy from the Alternative for Germany faction, Steffen Kotre, expressed the opinion that the supply of weapons from Germany to Ukraine would be a fatal political signal and would lead to an aggravation of the situation.
