Early on 3 April, Germany’s Vice Chancellor and Energy Minister Robert Habeck arrived in Ukraine on an unannounced visit, his first trip to the country since the outset of Russia’s all-out war. He and a small business delegation will focus on the energy sector, according to DW.
At the train station in Kyiv, Habeck stressed that Ukraine could get a clear signal from his visit “that we believe that it will be victorious, that it will be rebuilt, that there is an interest from Europe not only to support in times of need, but that Ukraine will also be an economically strong partner in the future,” Spiegel wrote.
“A business delegation that gives Ukraine hope that there will be reconstruction after the war,” Habeck said describing the delegation that he has brought with him.
DW says the talks will reportedly focus on cooperation to redevelop Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Habeck also said investment decisions had either already been made or were due to be made.
