Daily Mail: Ukraine pleads with Berlin to send warships and missiles to deter Russian invasion as Germany is accused of taking a 'soft stance' with Putin 

* Ukraine has renewed calls for Germany to supply weapons to deter Russian attack, calling for warships and anti-aircraft systems to be deployed 

* Ukrainian ambassador also attacked Berlin's justification for its soft stance - that it owes an 'historic debt' to Russia over Second World War atrocities 

* Andriy Melnyk pointed out that Nazi atrocities were also committed in Ukraine 

* Britain supplied anti-tank missiles to Kiev after avoiding German airspace

Andriy Melnyk, Kiev's ambassador to Berlin, said on Wednesday that Ukraine wants German warships to help defend against Russian attacks on its coasts in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, and anti-aircraft systems to prevent attacks from the air. 

It comes after Scholz, who has been accused of 'weakening' Europe and NATO's response to Russia with his soft stance, on Tuesday rejected the idea of supplying even defensive weapons to Kiev - citing a long-standing German policy.
