Archival photoBERLIN, June 24The ruling mayor of Berlin, Francisca Giffay, spoke for half an hour on Friday with an unknown person who posed as Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the Senate Chancellery of Berlin reported. «The course of the conversation and the formulation of the topic caused distrust from Berlin. The conversation was interrupted prematurely,» the ministry said in a Twitter message. It is noted that in Berlin there was a «suspicion» that the person who participated in the conversation was in fact «not Vitali Klitschko.» This suspicion was later confirmed by a conversation with Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnik, the report says. According to the German newspaper Tagesspiegel, the man with whom the ruling burgomaster of Berlin spoke «looked like the real Vitali Klitschko» on the screen, while in fact it was a fraudster . According to the publication, the conversation lasted half an hour, after which it was interrupted. The mayor of Kyiv himself told the Bild tabloid that he did not speak with the mayor of Berlin on Friday. According to the newspaper, this is not the first such incident on Friday: it is alleged that someone impersonated Klitschko also in a conversation with the mayor of Madrid. >Klitschko became an honorary citizen of Warsaw
