Following the Russian attacks targeting the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, the German Foreign Ministry announced that the German Embassy in the capital was hit.

In the statement made by the Ministry, it was stated that the building where the visa section of the Embassy is located was damaged, this building has not been serviced for months and there are no employees in the building.

Sergej Sumlenny, former head of the Böll Foundation in Kyiv, reacted to the situation by posting a photo from his social media account. Under the photo he shared, Sumlenny wrote: "The building where the visa office of the German embassy in Kyiv is located was hit by the Russians today. Do Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock have a reaction? Maybe they want to send some Leopard tanks and check the situation on the spot."
