The conflict with Russia is also the focus of talks during Foreign Minister Baerbock’s visit to Kiev. It is eagerly awaited how she will comment on the expected weapon requests.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock started her visit to Ukraine by visiting the Holodomor memorial in Kiev.
The memorial commemorates the victims of a great famine (Ukrainian: «Holodomor») of 1932 and 1933. Several million people died at that time. The Greens politician then had meetings with Head of State Volodymyr Zelensky and Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Monday. The central theme is the conflict with Russia. In the West, an attack by Russian troops on the former Soviet republic is feared.
It is eagerly awaited what the minister will say about the latest Ukrainian weapon requests. The federal government has so far strictly rejected deliveries to crisis areas. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) reiterated the German no on Sunday before his departure for his inaugural visit to Washington. Ukraine had previously submitted a list of weapon requests to the Federal Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defense.
On Tuesday, Baerbock plans to inspect the front line between government troops and Russian-backed separatists in the Donbass conflict zone in eastern Ukraine.
