[Global Network Report Reporter Zhang Xiaoya] According to "Russia Today" (RT), Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany, Andrei Melnik, who has caused controversy over his sharp words, tweeted on the 14th that he had left office and left Germany and returned home. Previously, Ukrainian President Zelens removed Melnik from his post as ambassador to Germany in early July.
reported that Melnik posted on his Twitter page on the 14th, saying, "I returned home with my head high and clear conscience. I feel that I have fulfilled my responsibilities to Ukraine." The report said that Melnik also thanked his "German friends" for their "patience" and praised an article by German columnist Thomas Schmore, who praised Melnik for "raising a mirror" for German politicians.
Previously, Melnik caused many controversy over his "shocking words". In April this year, German President Steinmeier planned to visit Kiev to express his solidarity with Ukraine. But Ukraine is "not welcome" on the grounds that the president has allegedly had "pro-Russia" actions before. Afterwards, Scholz also rejected Ukraine's invitation to visit Ukraine. Melnik was very annoyed and publicly insulted Scholz as "offended pork liver" ( German means "a vulnerable person"). After causing huge controversy, Melnik had to apologize for this remark.
According to RT, Melnik also slammed former German Prime Minister Merkel in September, claiming that the latter has a "obsession" with Russia, which seems "almost contrary to common sense." Russian Satellite News Agency said that Melnik had previously accused Merkel of lacking self-criticism of her previous policy towards Russia.
Not long before Melnik left office, he responded in slanderous words to a "plan" proposed by Musk, founder of the American space exploration technology company (SpaceX). Musk proposed his own "peace plan" to stop the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the 3rd of this month, including: under the supervision of the United Nations, let the four places of Donetsk , Lugansk , Zaporoze , Khlsson re-enter the "referendum"; let Crimea "officially become part of Russia"; ensure the safety of water supply in Crimea; and Ukraine remains neutral. In response to this, the outgoing Melnik responded to Musk in slanderous words, causing controversy over public opinion.
Regarding the news that Melnik left Germany, in the comment section of this report on RT, some people expressed dissatisfaction with his "self-evaluation", "High your head? Don't bump yourself into the pillar when you leave." ↓
Someone also reminded, "The real problem lies in the relationship between Germany and Russia, because Melnik is too slow to realize the political reality that is conducive to establishing good relations." ↓
Melnik became the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany in January 2015. Ukrainian President Zelensky removed Melnik from his post as ambassador to Germany in early July this year. Deutsche News Agency said that after returning to Kiev, Melnik will continue to work in Ukraine's diplomatic department.
