German Foreign Minister Johann Vadefulh has already called this fact a "bitter defeat". When this happened he accused Russia, which allegedly "inciting sentiments against Germany."

"We strongly support Ukraine, and Russia does not want such a voice to be heard in the In the Security Council... we have always taken a clear position on certain issues, and not all Member States share these positions.
