Olaf Scholz has announced that he will not be traveling to Kyiv for the time being. The Ukrainian Ambassador Andriy Melnyk reacted with mockery to the Chancellor's refusal.
Andriy Melnyk has criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz 's preliminary no to a trip to Kiev.
„Playing an offended liverwurst doesn't sound very statesmanlike,“ the Ukrainian ambassador scoffed at the German Press Agency. „It's about the most brutal war of annihilation since the Nazi attack on Ukraine , it's not a kindergarten,“ - Melnyk is quoted as saying.
Scholz had said on ZDF on Monday evening that Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier's unloading through Ukraine would stand in the way of his trip . Steinmeier actually wanted to go to Kyiv with the heads of state of Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania in mid-April, but was rejected at short notice. It remains a „remarkable event“ that Ukraine has uninvited a German head of state who has been re-elected by a large majority“, - said Scholz
