Top German, French diplomats to visit Ukraine Thursday

Foreign ministers of two countries scheduled to meet Ukraine’s new President Zelensky

BERLIN (AA) - German and French foreign ministers will travel to Kiev on Thursday for joint talks with Ukraine’s new President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Speaking at a news conference in Berlin Wednesday, German Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Adebahr said the two foreign ministers would reaffirm Germany and France’s strong support to Ukraine during the transition period.

“This is a strong signal showing that the German Federal Government cares about Ukraine, attaches importance to Minsk process, and very quickly seeks talks with the new government,” she said.

Ukraine has been wracked by conflict in its eastern regions since March 2014 after Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

The EU heavyweights Germany and France had co-sponsored the Minsk ceasefire agreement in February 2015. Some 13,000 people have been killed in the conflict since 2014, according to the UN.

The visit of German and French foreign ministers comes a week after the inauguration of Ukraine’s new president.
