Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer on Friday left to travel to Kyiv, according to his office, one of the EU leaders to visit Ukraine after the Bucha incident.

"Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer left this evening for his visit to Ukraine," the chancellory said in a statement.

Nehammer indicated earlier in the week he would visit Ukraine.

Nehammer's visit comes as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Bucha on Friday on a trip to Ukraine along with the bloc's diplomatic chief Josep Borrell.

Nehammer is expected to travel to Bucha, near Kyiv, on Saturday, according to a statement from his office.
