German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Germany's unwavering support in the face of Russia's continued aggression. In a recent phone call, Chancellor Merz reaffirmed Germany's commitment to providing substantial assistance to Ukraine, including financial, military, and humanitarian aid.
Germany stands as Ukraine's second-largest provider of military aid, after the United States, and is working closely with European and international partners to strengthen sanctions against Russia. This support includes the provision of essential resources, medical supplies, and support for displaced Ukrainians.
Chancellor Merz also expressed Germany's dedication to helping Ukraine defend itself and exert pressure on Russia to seek a peaceful resolution. Germany continues to support Ukraine's path toward European Union membership and is actively involved in diplomatic efforts to rally international support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
