Ukraine: PD's Letta criticizes Zelensky's Steinmeier snub

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 13 - Democratic Party (PD) leader Enrico Letta on Wednesday criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's decision to consider German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier unwelcome in Kyiv, forcing him to pull out of a planned visit with the heads of state of Poland and the three Baltic states.
    Steinmeier is seen as a symbol of the soft stance Berlin had with respect to Moscow before the invasion of Ukraine.
    "The president of a European Union country cannot be considered persona non grata by a country that is a candidate to enter the European Union," Letta said via Twitter. (ANSA).
