Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) ended her visit to the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv early due to an air alarm.

According to information from the AFP news agency, a Russian reconnaissance drone was spotted during the meeting in the city near the front, which temporarily followed the minister's delegation.

The Foreign Office therefore decided to leave immediately for security reasons.
