On Monday morning, November 4, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock arrived in the Ukrainian capital.

That is according to Reuters, Ukrinform reports.

"We are countering this brutality with our humanity and support, so that Ukrainians can not only survive the winter, but so that their country can survive. Because they are also defending the freedom of all of us in Europe," said Baerbock upon arriving in Kyiv on Monday.

As noted, this is her eighth visit to Ukraine.

The German foreign minister, who was last in Ukraine in May, is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and her Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, while in the capital.
