War not only destroys all moral categories, but also political and diplomatic instincts, as the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy vividly demonstrates in his brusque handling of German politics. The fact that Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was not invited to a symbolic visit to Kyiv plays Germany off against its eastern neighbors and bestows an undeserved triumph on Russia, which is actually the enemy of the war. Selensky could have saved himself that.
