Russian Drone Forces Germany's Baerbock To Cut Short Waterworks Plant Visit In Ukraine

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and her Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, visit a Ukraine-Moldova border crossing point in the Odesa region on February 24.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had to cut short her tour of a waterworks facility in southern Ukraine on February 25 when a Russian spy drone was sighted, a Foreign Office official said. Baerbock had been visiting the Ukrainian city of Mykolayiv over the weekend when members of the delegation were asked to quickly return to the armored vehicles in Baerbock's convoy after a Russian drone was spotted flying over the waterworks. Baerbock earlier announced that Germany will provide an additional 100 million euros ($108 million) in humanitarian aid to Ukraine to support the water supply, hospitals, and housing.
