Russia threatened diplomats in Kyiv over a "danger to life" a day before Merz's visit, German Ambassador Ruge said
3 October, a day before German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's arrival in Kyiv, Russia warned that all foreigners must leave the Ukrainian capital due to a "danger to life."
This was said by Germany's ambassador to Ukraine, Borys Ruge, in an interview with European Pravda.
"Do you remember how 4 October Chancellor Merz came to Kyiv? Well, on 3 October we were warned from Moscow that all foreigners must leave Kyiv because of the danger. And those who remain — risk losing their lives," the ambassador said.
He emphasized that this warning did not prevent the chancellor's visit.
Ruge assured that a situation like 2022 year, when foreign embassies left Kyiv, will not happen.
"We are here. We know the coming months will be difficult. In recent months we have already seen how security threats have increased. Well, we'll get through this too! I have to take care of the diplomats' safety, but we have decided absolutely clearly: we are staying here," he stressed.
