Statements by SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich have led to new ill-feeling between Berlin and Kyiv. In a panel discussion at the SPD debate convention, Mützenich accused Ukraine of putting him on a “terrorist list.” The government in Kyiv rejected this. “I was already irritated that the Ukrainian government put me on a terrorist list on the grounds that I am working for a ceasefire or for the possibility of taking further diplomatic steps via local ceasefires,” said Mützenich on Saturday said. He also received threats about it. Dealing with it is “not exactly easy”.
