German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday, January 14, to hold discussions with Ukrainian officials. The talks focused on evaluating the military situation and exploring further aid measures as the war with Russia continues.
Pistorius highlighted NATO's unified support for Ukraine, emphasising the need for Europe to stand strong. He remarked on Germany's significant role as NATO’s largest European partner, particularly at a time of heightened tensions.
The visit comes less than a week before Donald Trump’s second term as U.S. president begins, an event expected to bring shifts in international defence dynamics. Pistorius underlined the importance of demonstrating solidarity with Ukraine during this period.
Ahead of his trip to Kyiv, the German defence minister met with counterparts from Poland, Britain, France, and Italy in Warsaw to discuss regional security strategies.
Domestically, debates in Berlin continue over the extent of Germany’s support for Ukraine, with the country gearing up for a snap election on February 23. Germany remains one of Ukraine's top military supporters, having provided consistent assistance over the past three years.
