The main thing is air defense, strengthening our defense of the sky.

Germany is already a leader in this and in general in support in Europe. Ukraine is number one on the continent in terms of the level of aid: almost 30 billion euros from Germany. Defense support, also supporting our resilience. I want to thank the chancellor personally and all of Germany, the entire German people, who are with us so fundamentally.

It is important for us in Ukraine that the level of German support does not decrease in the future. This will be the most important and timely signal to all our other partners. At the meeting with the chancellor, we agreed that Germany will be with Ukraine in the future exactly as it should be, regardless of what will happen in global politics – what changes in mood there may be.”
