Ukraine: German President Steinmeier arrives in Kyiv | DW News
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 окт 2022
- German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday. It is Steinmeier's first trip to Ukraine since the Russian invasion on February 24.
"It was important to me, especially now in this phase of air attacks with drones, cruise missiles and rockets, to send a message of solidarity to the Ukrainians," he added.
The president also said that he was "very happy" to be in the country, and praised Ukrainians' "courage, fortitude, and unyieldingness."
The German president had been expected in Ukraine last Thursday. However, the trip was canceled at short notice due to the tense security situation, as Kyiv was bombed by Russian missiles and drones.

Absolutely. Express our gratitude to him on behalf of the Ukrainians.
That is indeed a historical moment for both Germany and Eastern Europe.
Germany you are doing it right.
Germany has done nothing right here Germany will always loose to the Russians 😅😅😅
Germany froze in February and blocked RAF weapons flights
They blocked Estonia from sending howitzers
They blocked weapon sales to Ukraine
The US and NATO had to pressure them into doing the right thing.
Why ?
Historically Germany has never done the right thing : Blood & Iron was Germany's motto
Only after WW2 did Germany adopt civilised values.
Germany is a novice - it needs encouraging to do the right thing.
better late than never, a significant moment indeed.
@@vinm300 - noch darf man sagen, dass es unterschiedliche Deutsche gibt: nicht "Deutschland" oder "die Deutschen" und schon garnicht "DEN "Deutschen". Leider ist dieser Quatsch international üblich - vielleicht weil noch zu wenige begriffen haben, was Demokratie sein sollte ?
Meiner unmaßgeblichen Meinung nach ist demokratische Meinungsäußerung von der Einsicht in die Notwendigkeit abhängig und nicht davon, wieviele "Likes" sich wer einheimst.
Da kann man mal sehen, wie beschränkt ich bin 🙃

This is terrific news ..Bravo Germany!!
Germany stepping up is awesome.
This visit is by far the most important one. Glad is taking place.
Way to go Germany. Love it
Thank you Germany God bless germany
And special thanks to Poland,who has been there for Ukraine in every moment of theis conflict.And yes,thank you to Germany and all the allies of Europe....as an Australian i am hoping we can send some more weapons or troops to help in training these young lads from Ukraine.Oh,Thank God for America
hahah what a joke - "Thank God for America "
@@pwn5047 if not for America, whole Ukraine will be now Russian colony.
In Poland, we are very grateful to president Biden and the USA to step in when Germany and France were waiting for Ukraine to loose.
Poland didn't like the African students leaving Ukraine though 😂 bit like Australia,no surprise you like them 😂😂
@@natalias50 how do you know what the Ukrainians really want? What makes you think that Ukrainians are the same mediocre Russophobes as Poles?
I'm Australian, and I agree . But I don't think we could have said the same thing if the former guy was still in power in the US.

@@Frank-dv3st Well Germany does have the best economy in Europe and I believe they are the third biggest contributor to NATO behind US and UK. So yeah you might not like them but they are leading. Also if they boost their spending by 2% they will become the second biggest contributor passing the uk.
The unfortunate reality is that Germany until now has failed to meet its NATO defence spending obligations for decades.
It’s a nation that no matter how hard it tries, finds itself in its’ default position of Pariah State.

I hope Germany will be sufficiently compensated/rewarded after Putin's downfall. Königsberg would be preferable.

Lmao, what's Germany supposed to do with a city full of Russians? If it would to split off from Russia, it would make much more sense for Kaliningrad to become an independent country - another Baltic state.

Dear Mr. Vladimir Putins : Tank you for being the single best Arms and Weapons provider to Ukraine as well as being the single best RECRUITER for NATO/OTAN with once neutral Sweden and Finland signing up and soon joining NATO. Hopefully Ukraine will follow suit and also soon join NATO. Again, tanks a million cause we couldn't have done this without you, Mr. Putins. Sincerely yours, the FREE and Sovereign and Independent People of Ukraine. SLAVA UKRAINE
not a single nato new member added. only weapons of death in Ukraine. once the war is over, only nuclear ash and uninhabitable big European skull and bones cities left
😂
@@BeachBoi1000 bot.
Well said.
Turkey is still blocking Sweden/Finnland to become NATO. And those looted Russian tanks are actually killing the Ukrainian Tank crews if they explode after one hit. German Leopard Tanks on the other hand can take several hits and save tank crew lives, and tank crews are scarest resources that Ukraine has. But Chancellor Scholz still doesn’t wanna send the tanks.
This is a good move, we need many many more in this direction right away... But that said, this is a certified good thing

Otherwise Ukraine got no chance to win this so do the partners. We need to show them they can be better than Russia and not on the same level as them.
Hats off to the German president. I'm sure I could not muster the courage go to Ukraine right now.
Has there ever been a war in world history where you can fly into the middle of a war zone and nothing happen is am I missing something
@@jayboyd1728 the war zone is in the east. Russia does terrorist attacks on Kyiv just to target civilians far away from the front, but otherwise it’s somewhat safe.

How can we average people in germany even forget that there is a war right now ? Our Energy prices tripled,Gas prices doubled and even food cost increased by ~30%
Hang in there! Ukraine really needs Europe to stand behind her in this dark hour.
Germans are struggling while we are getting in debt to support Ukraine. All theses debt will be paid by innocent Germans by way of higher prices. Germans loss Ukraine gain
Germany had enough cheap Russian gas coming via Poland and Ukraine.
If Germany didn’t get greedy and wanted to became a gas hub and therefore eliminate transit countries- Poland and Ukraine, that war would not have happened.
Do you think Putin would bomb whole Ukraine if they had exclusivity for delivering Russian gas to EU?
Nord Streams paved a way for Putin to attack Ukraine.
Eastern Europe and America were warning Germany, but your country did not listen.
Now, Ukrainians are dying, Ukrainian children are raped, murdered or if they are small enough they are being kidnapped and relocated to Russia for adoption and EU is heading towards recession.
If anyone is to blamed for that recession it’s your government.
Oh well, let them die then, so we can keep our cash safe...
@@stephenhill545 So you want German tax payers, citizens to bear the grunt of war, what will Ukrainians give back to Germans?

All this sufferings and death is because of one little man's ego! What a shame!
Yeah Putin is pathetic

Different perspectives. One could say this is all because of one party relentless need for foreign meddling for control and leverage (USA) or one could also say this is all because of one man's terrible approach at diplomacy (Zelensky).
One could say that you fail to grasp that Ukraine is an independent country that can pursue whatever Foreign Policy it wishes.
It’s none of the Orcs business.
@@dknight25 i like how you make it seem at first that you have a reflected opinion built through looking at a problem from multiple perspectives but then end up just accusing everyone except the aggressor.
totally no related but somehow I think every violent offender would be happy to have a judge which such a mindset.
it’s the first time I know the German president
The President doesn't have that much Power in Germany. He basically Just visits countries in the Name of Germany and signs important documents from Military officer Commissions to new laws
He has more of a representative & diplomatic role (and is supposed to be neutral in regards to party politics). Similar to the British king/queen, but not as culturally important.
@@faultier1158 oh thanks. Got it!
He was always a Russia friendly politician, But i think (or hope) he has learnt from his mistakes now. Russia's crimes are blatantly obvious for everyone to see now.
shouldn't be too hard getting most of the funds to rebuild, russia has roughly 300 billion dollars in foreign banks. good place to start.

Five days ago UK Defence Minister Wallace rushed to Washington DC to meet with US Défense Secretary Austin. Three days later Austin speaks by phone to Russian Defence Minister Shoigu. I knew something was happening or they are trying to prevent something. I think the only reason for Shoigu calls is to let them know that he knows.
Riverside - Zelensky gone rogue again. Serves them right for using such a corrupt country to fight their proxy war. The world is suffering andthiswont
Knows what?
Shoigu doesn’t seem to know much about his role as Minister of Defence, which is precisely why there are 60,000 dead Russians propping up Sunflowers in Ukraine and over another 180,000 killed or maimed.

The President takes the respresentative role as the formal head of state while the chancellor has the executive role as the functional head of state. In other states like france and the USA their president is both the representative as well as the functional head of state
The German Federal President represents Germany. The Federal Chancellor is head of the German Federal government.
