“We have a responsibility to the victims, not only by honoring their memory here, but by holding the perpetrators accountable for their actions. This is what we will do as an international community. This is the promise we are giving today from Boutsa.” The words of the German Foreign Minister Analena Berbok from the city-symbol of the savagery of this aggressive war, where, as it seems, inconceivable atrocities have been committed by the Russian army.
Accompanied by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Irina Venediktova, who informed her about the war crimes and crimes against humanity already being investigated by the authorities, she lit a candle in a city church in memory of the victims. “This is a place where the ‘worst crimes imaginable’ have become a reality,” she said, adding that what the people of Butsa now want is to show the world the crimes committed here. “We can not alleviate the pain, but we can ensure justice,” he said.
The “ice” between Berlin and Kiev broke
The long-awaited trip of Analena Berbok, which she had already announced, was organized in the last hours under extreme secrecy for security reasons, after the resolution of the diplomatic misunderstanding between Steinmeier, Solz and Zelensky a few days ago.
He thus becomes the first member of the cabinet to arrive in Ukraine since the outbreak of war on February 24, thus preparing, according to analysts, the ground for upcoming visits at the highest level in the near future. After Boutsa, the German Foreign Minister is expected to meet in the afternoon with her Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Kuleba in Kyiv.
Ukraine’s future is in Europe. And in the EU?
In the context of the wider mobility of recent days for Ukraine, it is worth noting that the Speaker of the German Parliament, Berbel Bass (SPD), who was also in Ukraine on Sunday for the 77th anniversary of the end of World War II, He told the ZDF last night that the process of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union must be accelerated.
A direct response from the President of the Bundestag to the French President Emmanuel Macron, who yesterday during his speech in Strasbourg at the Conference on the Future of Europe, lowered the Ukrainian expectations for rapid accession processes in the EU, which, as he said, can to last “decades”. Last night, however, from Berlin, Solz and Macron wanted to send the message that Ukraine belongs to the European family, whatever that means for the accession process – which is time-consuming even under normal conditions of peace.
