All federal states of Germany will provide quick assistance to Ukrainians who are fleeing the war, and its procedure will be simple, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said.

"Overcoming this challenge is the common task of our entire state," he tweeted on Wednesday evening.

Scholz thanked the many volunteers whose "tireless efforts allow us to help people fleeing the terrible war in Ukraine."

The German chancellor also said that it is completely unacceptable when immigrants from Russia are insulted or even subjected to physical attack.

"Because this is Putin's war. He, and only he, is responsible for this," Scholz stressed.
