German daily
Die Welt reported that some Berlin officials have stood up for Chancellor Olaf Scholz after he was insulted by
the Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, who called Scholz an "offended liverwurst".
Bundestag MP Sevim Dagdalen demanded the ambassador's expulsion from Germany, saying "Whoever doesn't expel the supporter of Nazism Melnyk now has lost all self-respect."
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (pictured) was called a 'sulky liver sausage' by Kyiv's ambassador to Berlin, who has been an outspoken critic of Germany's response to Russia's invasion
The Vice President of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), Wolfgang Kubicki, also supported Scholz, saying Melnyk needs to respect Scholz's status as the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Also, the deputy chairman of the Bundestag's CDU faction, Johann Wadeful, called Melnyk's statement "inappropriate and unreasonable."
"Even in such a difficult situation, diplomatic representatives should behave appropriately towards German officials. Melnyk's statements do not help Ukraine," he stressed.
Ukraine's ambassador had repeatedly demanded that Berlin provide Kiev with weapons, made claims that the EU did not move forward with an embargo on Russian energy carriers, and said he considers all Russians to be enemies.He accused the German President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier of having a "whole web" of contacts with Russia, which explains
why Ukraine snubbed his visit.
Comment: Daily Mail provides more details:
Ukraine's ambassador to Berlin called Germany's chancellor Olaf Scholz a 'sulky liver sausage' for hinting he won't visit Ukraine like other European leaders.
Mr Scholz suggested that he would not visit Kyiv after the German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier's offer to visit was rejected, he has also been accused by President Volodymyr Zelensky of having close ties to the Kremlin.
The relationship between Ukraine and Germany has been strained during Russia's invasion, as Mr Scholz has been criticised by Kyiv for weak sanctions against Putin and for a lack of military support.
'You can't do that,' Mr Scholz told ZDF, a German public broadcaster, on Monday.
'It can't work that when a country has provided so much military aid, so much financial aid โ which is needed โ when it's a question of the security guarantees that will be important to Ukraine in the future โ you then say: But the president can't come.'
However Ukraine's envoy to Berlin, Andriy Melnyk, said: 'Acting like a sulky liver sausage doesn't sound very statesmanlike.

Meanwhile Germany's conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz visited Kyiv for meetings with Ukrainian officials.
He has previously accused Scholz of weak leadership and of 'procrastination, dithering and timidity'.
Last week Germany announced it would deliver anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine for the first time, which signalled a major shift in policy.

Their announcement that they could quit Russian oil by late summer, further highlighted a show of support for Ukraine.
Mr Scholz denied claims their response to Russia's invasion was hesitant: 'I've always made quick decisions, in tandem with everyone else... but my line is that we act in a level-headed and prudent manner.'
He insisted Germany is 'firmly by the side' of Ukraine, with officials citing their recent actions such as the suspension of Nord Stream 2 and additional military support.
He also vowed that sanctions would not be lifted until Putin signs a peace deal with Ukraine.
This week the European Commission is expected to propose their sixth package of sanctions against Russia.
Which may include a possible embargo on buying Russian oil - which Germany said on Monday it was prepared to back.
Ambassadors from EU countries will discuss the proposed oil sanctions on Wednesday.
And that's just what the Ukrainian puppets say in public; this also reflects just how subservient to the agenda European leaders are that they apparently have little choice but to take it:
