WASHINGTON, December 2. /TASS/. The US Department of Defense has suspended contact with Germany’s Defense Ministry, in particular, on Ukraine, German Lieutenant General Christian Freuding told The Atlantic magazine.
Freuding was previously in charge of the German Defense Ministry’s Ukraine unit and could communicate with Pentagon officials round the clock. However, this communication has recently been terminated, he said.
The German general, who now holds the office of chief of the German army, said that the Trump administration had not warned about the termination of deliveries of some armaments to Kiev. He further said that instead of usual communication with the American side, he had to turn to the German embassy in Washington, where there was a person who tried contacting someone in the Pentagon to get information.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier in a phone conversation with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul that Washington sought to settle the Ukraine conflict as soon as possible and secure a durable peace.
