Ukraine today condemned Germany for its refusal to supply weapons to Kyiv, urging Berlin to stop 'undermining unity' and 'encouraging Vladimir Putin' amid fears of a Russian invasion. 

In a separate development, Ukraine's foreign ministry said Saturday it had also summoned the German ambassador to Ukraine, Anka Feldhusen. 

This was to stress 'the categorical unacceptability' of comments by German naval chief Kay-Achim Schoenbach in which he called Russian plans to invade Ukraine 'inept', the foreign ministry said. 

Mr Schoenbach also said of Russia's president: 'It's easy to give him the respect he wants, and probably deserves as well.'
