After the Ukrainian government had uninvited the Federal President, Wladimir Klitschko hoped for a later visit from Steinmeier. The ex-boxer emphasizes: “Germany is the number one partner.”
Former world boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko is counting on a later visit by the Federal President to the country after the refusal of Frank-Walter Steinmeier to visit Ukraine. “I hope that the Federal President’s visit to Kyiv has only been postponed and can be made up for in the coming weeks,” said the brother of Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko of the “Bild”.
“I think it’s urgent that we, as Ukraine, continue to build bridges to Germany,” emphasized Klitschko. “Germany is the number one partner in providing financial assistance to Ukraine, providing humanitarian assistance, helping refugees massively and sending more and more weapons, even though we need more of them,” he added.
The Ukrainian government had rejected Steinmeier’s visit and instead opted for Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) to travel to Kyiv. Read more here. Wladimir Klitschko said Steinmeier had made “many mistakes” in the past that had “massively damaged” Ukraine. Steinmeier admitted this and apologized.
