CNN: German Foreign Minister canceled meeting with Zelensky due to disagreements over Nord Stream 2

According to the channel, the meeting between Zelensky and Burbock was canceled due to the latter’s unwillingness to publicly declare Germany’s refusal from Nord Stream 2, as well as due to the refusal to supply weapons to Ukraine.

The meeting of German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was canceled due to the refusal of the German side to provide military assistance to Kiev, as well as disagreements over Nord Stream 2. About it on Twitter declared CNN journalist Jake Tapper, citing “a source close to the Ukrainian government.”

According to the source, the meeting did not take place due to the refusal of the German foreign minister to say that Germany would abandon the Nord Stream 2 pipeline even if Russia “invaded” Ukraine.

In addition, he added, the meeting was canceled due to “Germany’s refusal to provide Kiev with any military assistance directly or indirectly.” “Many in Eastern Europe and Kiev increasingly see Germany as more of an ally of Russia than an ally of the West. And they behave like this – look at the former Chancellor Schroeder, ”said the source of the TV channel.

burbock should was to meet with Zelensky as part of her trip to Ukraine on February 7–8. However, after talks with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, she said she would not meet with Zelensky as French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who was also supposed to be involved in the talks, canceled a trip to Ukraine.
