Hey there! Let's chat about a hot topic happening in Lviv, Ukraine. The new German Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul (CDU), has just landed in the city, marking his initial visit to Ukraine. He'll be joining a casual gathering of EU foreign ministers this Friday, where his Ukrainian counterpart Andrij Sybiha is expected to attend.
But what's the real reason for this meeting? Wadephul will find out Friday what Ukraine needs, and what Germany will provide. "We'll stand firm and keep the heat on until they realize this shitshow must end, negotiations need to start, and a ceasefire must be enforced," Wadephul declared in ARD's "Tagesthemen."
The crucial issue on the table? The special tribunal. Yep, you heard it right. It's a tribunal designed to hold Russia accountable for its aggression against Ukraine. Wadephul confirmed it's a key issue for discussions, and it serves as a warning to any other potential war-starters in the 21st century.
But do you know what's most jaw-dropping? The EU chief diplomat Kaja Kallas already set a date for the final political approval for the establishment of this international tribunal, right here in Lviv. Can you believe it? Now, that's some serious international support—talk about serious business!
