German Foreign Ministry has not responded to question on arms supplies to Ukraine

German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock during an interview with a local news agency has evaded a direct answer to a question about the supply of German weapons to Ukraine

According to her, the main goal for Germany now is to prevent a military escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, and this can only be achieved through diplomacy in the Normandy format, as well as through the Russia-NATO council and within the OSCE.

In response to an additional question whether what was said meant that Berbock rejects the idea of any arms supplies to Ukraine, the Foreign Minister replied that further military escalation would not bring Kiev any greater security
