German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday. It is Steinmeier's first trip to Ukraine since the Russian invasion on February 24.
"It was important to me, especially now in this phase of air attacks with drones, cruise missiles and rockets, to send a message of solidarity to the Ukrainians," he added.
The president also said that he was "very happy" to be in the country, and praised Ukrainians' "courage, fortitude, and unyieldingness."
The German president had been expected in Ukraine last Thursday. However, the trip was canceled at short notice due to the tense security situation, as Kyiv was bombed by Russian missiles and drones.
