German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has arrived in Kyiv to discuss further military support for Ukraine, with plans to negotiate additional weapons aid as Europe steps up pressure on Russia amid the ongoing conflict.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has arrived in Kyiv to discuss further military support for Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia, according to DPA news agency on Thursday.
Pistorius is set to meet with Ukrainian officials to discuss additional weapons aid from Berlin.
"We are doing everything we can to support Ukraine in defending itself and positioning it for meaningful negotiations with Russia," Pistorius stated before his departure.
The German defence ministry was not immediately available for comment.
Germany remains Ukraine’s second-largest military supporter after the United States, whose commitment to Kyiv has been questioned, increasing the pressure on Europe to enhance its support.
Earlier this month, Russia and Ukraine held peace talks in Istanbul, attempting to resolve the conflict that began with Russia’s invasion in February 2022. However, fighting persists as the two sides remain at odds on key issues, including territorial concessions and Ukraine's potential NATO membership.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who visited Kyiv and hosted President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin after taking office in May, recently approved the supply of "long-range fire" weapons to Ukraine, a move that has angered Moscow.
