Speaking to Sky News, Mr Prystaiko was asked for his views on German authorities blocking weapons sent to Ukraine.
He said that these cameras around are not allowing me to say what I think about Germany now. Many Ukrainians still remember what the Germans did in our part of the globe and Ukraine.
Mr Phillips said it was quite an accusation towards Germany that they would repeat what they did during WW2.
Prysaiko explained that Ukraine was hurt the most during WW2 by the Germans.
He cleared up his argument and said: What I said is that if I have to listen to someone about things like Ukraine not being given the weapons to defend itself.
The Germans would have to stay at the end of the long, long line of our European partners. Mr Phillips said Ukraine could not rely on Germany, with Mr Prysaiko saying he could rely on economic sanctions.
The ambassador said he did not see Germany as serious in the situation.
