Ukraine’s Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk was booed whilst visiting a memorial to the fallen Soviet soldiers in Berlin's Tiergarten on Sunday.
In a video posted on social media, people chanting "Melnyk, out!" in German can be heard upon Melnyk’s arrival. Other reports suggested that people also yelled "Nazis, out!" and "Fascist". Loud whistling can also be heard.
"Afterwards, the Ukrainians began to chant slogans and shouted over them [the protestors]. In the end, they left, but at the same time they tried to argue with the Ukrainians. There were no skirmishes," one eyewitness told Sputnik.
At the memorial, a reporter also asked Melnyk who, in his opinion, liberated Berlin from fascism, to which the ambassador responded: "Ukraine".
Nazi Germany was defeated in World War II after the Soviet Union finalised the Berlin Strategic Offensive Operation by raising the Soviet flag over the German Reichstag on 2 May, 1945.
The Ukrainian diplomat has recently caused waves by insultingly calling Chancellor Scholz "an offended liverwurst sausage" after he refused to travel to Kiev.
