SPD faction leader Rolf Mützenich has accused the Ukrainian government of putting him on a terrorist list. “I was already irritated that the Ukrainian government put me on a terrorist list on the grounds that I am working for a ceasefire or for the possibility of taking further diplomatic steps via local ceasefires,” said Mützenich at the SPD debate convention in Berlin. From the Ukrainian side there was initially no confirmation that the SPD parliamentary group leader had been put on a terrorist list.
Mützenich also said at the debate convention that he had received threats. “On the basis that the Ukrainian government’s terrorist list was put on, one also received secondary threats, so to speak. Not exactly easy to deal with either.”
Mützenich complained about “discrimination” against those who, like himself, advocated diplomacy. “I oppose this rigor.” He defended his call for diplomatic efforts to end Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. “It remains the case: (…) Most wars did not end on the battlefield,” said Mützenich.
