Germany’s foreign minister arrived in Kyiv on Monday, pledging continued support for Ukraine as calls grow for more Western aid following new Russian attacks.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul held talks with Ukrainian officials on military, humanitarian, and economic support amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
In a statement, Wadephul emphasised Germany’s commitment to Ukraine’s defence.
“We will continue to stand firmly by Ukraine’s side so that it can continue to defend itself successfully — with modern air defence and other weapons, with humanitarian and economic aid,” he said.
The visit comes a day after a large-scale Russian missile and drone attack, described by Ukrainian officials as one of the most intense of the conflict so far.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Washington and European partners to provide more air defence systems, highlighting the urgent need for continued international support.
Germany remains Ukraine’s second-largest military donor after the United States, supplying advanced air defence systems, artillery, and financial aid. However, with questions emerging over U.S. commitment to Kyiv, pressure is mounting on European nations to take on a greater share of the burden.
Wadephul’s visit underscores Berlin’s intention to maintain support for Ukraine, not only militarily but also through humanitarian assistance and economic cooperation, as the conflict with Russia continues with no clear end in sight.
