STORYLINE:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited a memorial to fallen Ukrainian soldiers in Kyiv on Monday.
Scholz laid a tribute at the memorial as he paid his respects alongside Zelenskyy during his first visit to the Ukrainian capital in more than 2 1/2 years.
The German leader’s trip to Kyiv comes just weeks after he was criticized by Zelenskyy for having a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
With the German election expected in February Scholz has pointed to Berlin’s status as Ukraine’s second-biggest weapons supplier while also highlighting his “prudence” in working to prevent the war escalating and refusing to deliver Taurus long-range cruise missiles.
Scholz said that in his meeting with Zelenskyy he will announce further military deliveries this month totalling 650 million euros.
“I would like to make clear here on the ground that Germany will remain Ukraine’s strongest supporter in Europe,” he said.
