"You play along with Putin, fuel Russian aggression": Ambassador Melnyk cancels Kretschmer's invitation to Ukraine

The diplomat wrote this on Twitter.

"With your absurd rhetoric about freezing the war, you play along with Putin and fuel Russian aggression. I invited you to Ukraine. Now this invitation is canceled. Your visit is unwanted. Period", Melnyk responded to the call of Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer to "freeze the war".

It is known that in the ZDF program last week, the prime minister of Saxony expressed the opinion that "the war must be frozen, that an armistice and negotiations are needed to end the war", and that there is too little talk about this in the public discourse.

Despite the fact that he called Russia's invasion of Ukraine a heinous crime and said that he fully agreed that the Russian Federation should not win this war - you cannot try to decide the outcome of the war on the battlefield "because it could have very bad consequences for all of us", and it is necessary to use diplomatic mechanisms, "even when you have completely different positions and you are enemies".
