He said on Tuesday, “Anyone investing in Ukraine today is funding a future member of the EU, which will influence our internal market and legal framework.” Despite the conflict, he said that over 2,000 German companies are already present in Ukraine, employing 35,000 people as suppliers to the German car industry.
