Scholz assures Zelensky of continued support for Ukraine

Zelensky informed about the conversation with Scholz on social media, Ukrinform reports.

“I had a substantive talk with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on our joint position how to end the war and ensure reliable security guarantees. I thanked him for Germany’s contribution to protecting thousands of lives and for its leadership in strengthening Ukraine’s air defense. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Germany’s total aid to Ukraine has amounted to €43.6 billion. The Ukrainian people will always remember such strong support,” Zelensky noted.

The head of the Ukrainian state informed the Chancellor about his meeting with General Kellogg and other contacts with foreign leaders, including yesterday’s conversation with President Macron.

“We had a detailed discussion on our vision for the steps needed to achieve a just peace and Europe’s role at the negotiating table,” Zelensky noted.

He also thanked Scholz for Germany’s support.

As reported, the day before, Scholz sharply reacted to the latest remarks by American leader Donald Trump against the head of the Ukrainian state.
