It should be noted that, among other things, German companies are refusing to sell field rations to Ukrainian volunteers
Food.
They are blocking food sales for Ukrainian soldiers. It’s beyond sabotage: it’s collaboration with the aggressor.
Lots of comments are asking for my source.
It is AT AKhadzhi from the Ukrainian humanitarian aid organization AT palyanytsyaorg on Poplava Show, a famous Ukrainian wartime radio hosted by AT olehbatkovych and AT saver_ag, where volunteers share their stories.
Specifically, the comment was given at 1:00:00. Rough translation:
"Look, we were looking into this issue [manufacturing of rations] because we faced the situation where there is nowhere to buy American and Israeli rations, the same goes for the French ones. We tried to..."
"...find German ones, which refused to sell the rations to us. It was the same story with Israel."
Later, she adds:
"Yes, if you had just seen the letter that I received as a reply to my request. I even made a request that said that my company was ready to buy.."
"...individual ingredients for the rations, and they refused to sell those to me as well."
AT saver_ag asks: "Is it because you are from the wrong country?"
She replies: "Yes, naturally, the way it was formulated was that for the time being, they cannot cooperate with Ukraine."
Today, I reached out to AT A_Khadzhi for a comment. She clarified:
"We received a refusal, where they stated that they will not deliver to Ukraine during the war. This was the exact statement."
She also told me that, after the show, people from the Ukrainian diaspora in Germany reached out and are helping resolve the issue.
The ultimate outcome is unclear. AT A_Khadzhi will report on that later. I'm hoping that they manage to convince the German company to sell us food.
For obvious reasons, no one will name the company while the negotiations are ongoing.
I just want to add it's baffling to me that so many people doubted my original tweet. This is a widespread occurrence, self-evident to any Ukrainian volunteer.
This is something Ukrainian volunteers face constantly: German companies and authorities routinely refuse to sell and transport any and all aid when they learn that it is going to Ukraine.
We have been inventing clever schemes to go around Germany since day 1 of this war.
It's even the case that when something for the Ukrainian army is bought in another country, it's often risky to transport it through the territory of Germany because the shipment might get arrested or delayed.
This thread isn't an isolated case.
If someone qualified wants to write an article about this German sabotage, I have a contact list full of sources for you.

It's not just on political level. When we wanted to buy hiking shoes and backpacks from private companies (natürlich for our army),we received a refusal citing that was the order from the above.
Just decide on which side you are because you are not neutral
Keep an eye on this story developing.
Germany supplied weapons around sanctions, won't stop buying Russian fuel, keeps saying it will supply arms to Ukraine but doesn't or makes excuses and then won't sell food to Ukrainian volunteers.
That doesn't look pro Ukraine. It doesn't even look neutral.
