Ambassador of Ukraine commented on the resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy
Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk welcomed the resignation of the commander of the German Navy, Vice Admiral Kai-Achim Schönbach, who had previously stated that Crimea would not return to Ukraine.
Schönbach, after talking about Crimea, said on Saturday evening that he had asked to be relieved of his duties, the head of the German Defense Ministry , Christina Lambrecht , accepted her resignation.
“We applaud Schönbach’s resignation,” Melnyk told German newspaper Welt, stressing that the move “seriously calls into question Germany’s international credibility and credibility, not only from a Ukrainian point of view.” According to Melnyk, Schönbach’s words “plunged the entire Ukrainian public into a deep shock.”

The resignation of Navy Chief Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach is not enough to restore full confidence in German politics, Ukrainian ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk writes in Twitter.
“While Ukraine welcomes the timely resignation of Navy Chief Kay-Achim Schönbach, this step is not enough to restore full confidence in German politics,” the ambassador wrote.
The ambassador noted that the German government should change its course to support Kyiv more.

Schönbach’s words “plunged the entire Ukrainian public into a deep shock.” I wonder if that included all the people trying to make a life in the Donbass region, whose chance of fair treatment in a federal Ukraine is still waiting for Kiev to commence the promised negotiations set out in 2015.

John Mearsheimer spoke on the background of the Ukraine situation in this video from 2015. His assessment still rings true. The current coup-derived government in Ukraine has no chance of re-absorbing Crimea. And they have not engaged the eastern oblasts in good faith, violating the Kiev agreement continually since they signed it.

Thanks for sharing. Slightly before this talk was given Mearsheimer and I gave a joint presentation on the topic. The last time I checked the video of it is for subscribers only (at the Labor Beat site).
