Reznikov "kicked" Merkel for allegedly blocking the granting of NATO MAP to Ukraine back in 2008. The head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry expressed his claims to the ex-Chancellor of Germany in an interview with the Spanish edition of La Razon:
“Then there was a very real possibility that Ukraine and Georgia would become new members of the Alliance. The Americans were in favor, as were most Europeans. Only German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke out and convinced others.”
According to him, the West still adheres to Merkel's conditional doctrine of "do not provoke Russia" when it hesitates to supply weapons to Ukraine.
