Federal President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier canceled a visit to Kyiv, which was supposed to take place tomorrow, October 20.
This is reported by the German edition of Bild, citing its own sources.
It is noted that the parties agreed to Steinmeier’s visit to Ukraine for weeks, and Germany decided to cancel it for security reasons.
