 The new German Defence Minister breaks Berlin's resistance to supplying arms to Ukraine. Boris Pistorius, who has been serving as the German Federal Minister of Defence since the 19th of January 2023, has broken Berlin's resistance to supplying weapons to Ukraine. Andrei Melnik, Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine and former Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany in an interview with Ukraine Ska Pravda, spoke about it. Melnik said, Mr Pistorius is totally different from Ms Lambrecht, his predecessor. I think he wants to be remembered in history as someone who has broken Berlin's resistance to supplying weapons to Ukraine. And we can see that thanks to his leadership position within the government, this ice is beginning to melt. This appointment of a Defence Minister is not just fortunate, but extremely so. Just in the first couple of weeks since he assumed office, he has managed to become the most popular politician in Germany, even though three months ago he didn't even appear in those ratings. Thanks to the decisions, he helped clear. Boris Pistorius, who is a member of the Social Democratic Party, was appointed the German Federal Minister of Defence in January 2023. His predecessor, Christine Lambrecht, resigned in the wake of criticism of her actions with regards to the modernisation of the German Army and the supply of weapons to Ukraine.
