Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba expressed his opinion on the fact that Berlin banned the use of Ukrainian symbols on May 8-9. The head of the Foreign Ministry said that the position of official Berlin is incorrect in relation to everyone who right now is defending democracy from Russian aggression.

On his Twitter page, Kuleba noted that the German authorities took the wrong step by equating the symbols of Ukraine and Russia..

“Berlin made a mistake by banning Ukrainian symbols. You can not put the symbols of Ukraine and the Russian Federation on the same level. And taking the Ukrainian flag away from the participants of a peaceful rally is an attack on everyone who, with this flag in their hands, is now protecting Europe and Germany from Russian aggression,” the minister said in a statement..

Recall that German officials justified the decision to ban Ukrainian symbols at the events on May 8-9 by the fact that they, along with Russian ones, can justify or glorify the war in Ukraine..
