Robert Habek criticized Ukraine for refusing to accept the visit of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck called Ukraine’s refusal to accept the visit of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier a diplomatic mistake. Spiegel writes about it.
“Unfortunately, I have to say this: the Ukrainian side has made a diplomatic mistake. The federal president is Germany. And therefore, rejecting President Zelensky is a rejection for Germany,” he said.
Habek also answered the question of whether he or Chancellor Olaf Scholz would go to Ukraine.
“Now we all need to make sure we solve the problem and don’t make it worse. That’s what phones were invented,” the German Vice Chancellor said.
It will be recalled that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky refused to receive German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Kyiv because of his close ties with the Russian leadership.
Scholz was invited to Kyiv instead of Steinmeier.
