Ukrainian media reported that both men were in Germany for medical rehabilitation after being injured during the war.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba had instructed his diplomats to keep a special eye on the case and maintain constant contact with Germany's security agency so that the suspect can be punished according to the full severity of the law, reports said on Sunday evening. .
Two Ukrainian men were stabbed to death in the premises of a shopping center in Murnau, Upper Bavaria on Saturday evening.
Shortly afterward, police arrested a 57-year-old Russian man.
According to the online Porta Ukrainska Pravda report, Kuleba thanked German authorities for the arrest.
According to police reports on Monday, there are no signs so far that the crime is linked to Russia's war against Ukraine, which Russian President Vladimir Putin launched on February 24, 2022.
Millions of Ukrainians and Russians live in Germany.
The Ukrainian nationals, aged 23 and 36, both lived in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district. They died from knife wounds: the elder of the two died at the crime scene, the younger died in hospital a short time later.
The investigating judge issued an arrest warrant for murder on Sunday.
A police spokesperson said that from the investigation so far it appeared that the three men knew each other.
