*Sigh*
You got almost everything wrong about my post. So I try to get my point across better.
Firstly, I don't feel insulted. It's perfectly fine to call out the politicians who are hesitant to help Ukraine. Actually I am very opposed to most of them for years, albeit for other reasons (but their stance on the war in Ukraine fits them well...).
I think you are right about our strategic mistake and I appreciate that you seem to be understanding about that. And yes, Zelensky calling Germany out for it is understandable to everyone, albeit the discussion about Steinmeier's visit wasn't the right move.
But that article discussed wasn't about Zelensky, but about the Ukrainian ambassador in Germany, Andriy Melnyk (The title means "It's enough, Mr Melnyk"). And he is indeed a problem for Ukraine in my eyes. The issue with him is his total disregard of diplomacy.
@TMDaines said "with friends likes these" and I would totally agree if Melnyk treated Germany like a friend. He doesn't. He constantly acts in a way like he can give orders to the German government and then publicly moans when his orders aren't fulfilled. So the way he acts basically denies Germany any sovereignty in the current situation, which is an interesting stance for an ambassador of a country that is forced to fight a war to keep its sovereignty.
This behaviour of him is totally over the top so he appears to be someone who is a maniac who would say everything just to get what he wants. He isn't the girl in a miniskirt calling for help, he is more the three year old child who throws a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants. This is why it is easy to discredit Ukrainian claims about war crimes etc - they are made by an annoying brat, not by someone who is held in high regard and thought to be a reliable partner.
Obviously not everyone in Germany sees him this way, but those close to Russia definitely do and a lot more people are open to the points he makes, but are also highly critical of his behaviour and style. Some celebrate him for "calling out the corrupt politicians", but getting this kind of approval is right for a politician who wants to win elections against others (who he might happily call out in this way), but not for a diplomat who needs to convince those who aren't convinced yet.
It also doesn't help that he has some sympathy for Nazi collaborateur Stepan Bandera, essentially proving Russia's claim about Ukraine being a Nazi country, but this isn't a major factor right now (but has been some years ago when he visited Bandera's grave, so those close to the matter surely still have this present).
And I get that this is a very German problem, because Melnyk isn't relevant anywhere else, so that this discussion must seem weird to those of you who are simply blessed by Ukrainian ambassadors that aren't as annoying as he is.
To be clear, yes Germany is dragging everything out to long and the German performance in this whole affair is not up to the expectations of the world and most Germans alike.
