STORYLINE:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday as part of a whistle-stop tour of Europe meant to win backing for his “victory plan” aimed at ending the war with Russia.
Zelenskyy joined a news conference with Scholz as he received a pledge of a new weapons package.
Scholz emphasized Berlin’s continued focus on helping Kyiv with air defense.
He said that, by the end of the year, it will deliver another package of military support worth 1.4 billion euros ($1.5 billion), with support from Belgium, Denmark and Norway — including further air defense systems, self-propelled Gepard anti-aircraft guns, tanks, armored vehicles and radars.
Zelenskyy had arrived in Berlin after stops on Thursday in London, Paris and Rome on a tour arranged after a planned summit Saturday with U.S. President Joe Biden and other allied leaders was derailed by Hurricane Milton.
This year’s German budget foresees nearly 7.5 billion euros in military aid for Ukraine, while next year’s plan is for 4 billion euros.
Berlin hopes a $50 billion international loan package funded by interest on profits from frozen Russian assets will play a growing role in financing aid starting next year, with Kyiv procuring weapons directly.
