Vice admiral Kay-Achim Schoenbach apologises after saying Ukraine would not regain the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, and that Vladimir Putin deserved 'respect'.

despite Russia denying it is planning to invade Ukraine.

At the discussion in New Delhi on Friday, Mr Schoenbach said President Putin seeks to be treated as an equal by the West.Ukrainians are scared but determined to push back against any Russian invasion "What he really wants is respect," he said."And my God, giving someone respect is low cost, even no cost... It is easy to give him the respect he really demands - and probably also deserves.

His remarks, which were published on YouTube and widely circulated on German media, were publicly rejected by the German defence ministry which said Mr Schoenbach's views did not reflect the nation's position in either content or wording.

There's always going to be a problem in that region, as Crimea region is the gateway to Russia. Napoleon went through there to invade Russia, Hitler went through there too. As long as Russia feel threatened there will be tension there.

Irish Foreign Ministry dfatirl - to give coaching (it was filmed in the real capital of Ireland) Trim.

'contradicting the joint Western position that Moscow's annexation .. in 2014 cannot be accepted and must be reversed.' This 'MUST be reversed' reeks of imperialism and a disregard for Crimeans' right of self-determination. Also there's no such thing as a joint Western position.

Lost in translation as is the norm especially with which ever media is in place.

Wow, Europe becoming US's slap boy. Soon it will be fascism there if people can't tell their opinions !!

His comments are right though, unfortunate timing......

History will judge him right one day.
