BERLIN — Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko is seeking assurances from his counterpart in Berlin that Ukraine will be able to send seriously injured soldiers to Germany’s capital safe in the knowledge that their medical costs will be met. In a letter to new Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner seen by POLITICO, Klitschko noted that some 250-500 Ukrainian troops will need treatment each month for lost limbs. “At least some of these patients could certainly be cared for in your city in view of the special expertise of the clinics in Berlin — but at present it will unfortunately not be possible to reimburse the costs in your city,” he wrote in his two-page letter. Germany had pledged that injured Ukrainian civilians and soldiers have unbureaucratic and fast access to high-quality medical care after their arrival in Germany without having to bear any costs themselves, but private groups have to take over the organization and financing of urgent medical care in some regions, with Berlin among them.
