🇩🇪 There will be a winter support package from Germany, — Zelenskyy
A good and very substantive meeting with Chancellor Friedrich Merz. I thank Germany and the Chancellor personally, the entire government team, and all Germans for tangible and extraordinarily significant support. From the first days of the full-scale war, Ukraine has been able to count on the fact that German hearts are not indifferent and truly help protect lives. The air defense that Germany is helping with, your support for our resilience, support for our energy sector and for our state overall — these are leadership actions and reflect that without Germany Europe’s positions would not be nearly as strong.
I briefed Friedrich Merz on the situation in Ukraine and on the front. Every day the Russians strike our energy infrastructure, our towns and villages. It is important that Germany is with us at this time. Ready to continue supporting us. Friedrich and I spoke about support packages and decisions that are needed. There will be a winter support package from Germany. And we spoke about further air-defense assistance — supplying Ukraine with PAC-2, PAC-3, and IRIS-T missiles. We are also grateful to Germany for supporting our F-16 fleet, which is needed, in particular, to protect against Russian terror — against “shaheds.” We discussed a new package of such support for our F-16.
