Details. Baerbock said her presence in the country is intended to show that Germany will continue to stand by Ukraine as long as it takes – delivering arms, as well as humanitarian and financial support.
According to her, the visit was also meant to counter potential war fatigue in Germany.
“It's clear to me that putin is banking on us growing tired of sympathising with Ukraine's suffering. He believes he can divide our societies with lies and blackmail them with energy supplies,” Baerbock said.
The head of the German Foreign Ministry emphasised that the russian president's calculation was wrong, “because all of Europe knows that Ukraine is defending our peaceful order.”
It is noted that Baerbock came to Kyiv accompanied by a small delegation. She plans to meet, in particular, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, although her exact schedule is kept secret for security reasons.
Baerbock last visited Ukraine in May – the visit included a trip to Bucha, where russian soldiers had committed mass murders and war crimes.
Previously. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Kyiv.
