Xavier Bettel visited communities in the Kyiv region, which suffered during the Russian occupation.
Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel arrived in Ukraine on June 21 and visited Borodianka, Bucha and Irpen, which suffered during the Russian occupation. The politician announced this on Twitter.
“I arrived in Kyiv. It was a demonstration of Luxembourg’s solidarity with the people of Ukraine. As long as the Russian war continues, Luxembourg will be with Ukraine,” Bettel stressed.
As a result of his visit to Borodyanka, he wrote that the village was “a symbol of senseless cruelty and violence.”

After what he saw in Bucha, the prime minister assured that Luxembourg would support the investigation of war crimes of the Russian Federation, and also guarantee the identification, prosecution and punishment of those responsible for these atrocities.
There are no words to describe Bucha’s unimaginable human tragedy. You can count on Luxembourg to support the investigations of national and international actors into these war crimes, and to ensure that those responsible for these atrocities are identified, prosecuted and punished. pic.twitter.com/DOXkPg2RbO

“I respect the memory of those who died in the hero city, because the Ukrainians decided to call them, for example, Irpen. I admire the courage of the women and men who returned to these cities after the barbarism that took place,” Bettel said.
