Zelensky invites German leaders to Kyiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to meet him in Kyiv, Qazet.az reports.

Zelensky made the invitation during a telephone call with Steinmeier, during which "past irritations were cleared up" and Steinmeier expressed his "solidarity, respect and support" for Ukraine.

The invitation comes three weeks after Steinmeier was snubbed by Kyiv because of Germany's close economic ties with Russia. The planned visit to the Ukrainian capital by the German president was cancelled at the last minute.
