They held him at the Kyiv airport because He spoke Ukrainian. Imagine? A German speaking Ukrainian in Ukraine - instead of speaking Russian?

Herr Lange, Germany does NOT want to see the Ukraine in the EU at all. Neither do France and the Netherlands. Germany, historically, has always had a Russia fetish and will do nothing that could upset Moscow- and Moscow clearly does NOT want the Ukraine anywhere near the EU. These three countries almost completely ignore the Ukraine for this reason.

Rather ironic when one remembers that Imperial Germany supported the creation of the first modern independent Ukrainian state when it signed a separate peace treaty with a Ukrainian delegation at Brest-Litovsk in February 1918.
