German chancellor Olaf Scholz makes surprise visit to Kyiv
Source: TagesschauIn a bid to show solidarity to Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in Kyiv early on December 2 for an unannounced visit. His arrival – hours after another Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s capital – is set to send a message of Germany’s support for Ukraine as it continues to resist Russian aggression.
In his post on X, Scholz stressed that Berlin is committed to standing by Ukraine in its time of need.
“Ukraine can rely on us. We mean what we say and do what we promise. To reaffirm this, I arrived in Kyiv tonight: traveling by train through a country that has been defending itself against Russian aggression for more than 1,000 days,” wrote the chancellor in his caption to the post.
Later in the day, he will have talks with Zelensky.
The unannounced visit comes at at time when the German leader’s party is facing a tough time back at home after he called a snap election.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
