German Chancellor won't visit Ukraine after Kyiv's refusal to host President Steinmeier

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he has no plans to visit Ukraine after German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier confirmed Kyiv's refusal to receive him.

In an interview with the German public broadcaster ZDF, Scholz replied that "you can't do that" and that it "gets in the way."

"A country that provides so much military assistance, so much financial assistance, the country is needed when it comes to security guarantees, important for the future of Ukraine, but the president cannot come," he said.

The chancellor noted that he would not visit the Ukrainian capital.
