German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in Kyiv on Monday, December 2, for an unannounced visit. This marks his second visit to the country since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
According to the publication, Scholz aims to convey through his visit that Germany continues to stand by the nation invaded by Russia.
"For over 1000 days, Ukraine has been heroically defending itself against the relentless Russian aggressive war," stated Scholz upon his arrival in Kyiv.
He noted that Germany "will remain Ukraine's strongest supporter in Europe," and Scholz also expressed hope for swift deliveries of weapons.
"During my meeting with President Zelensky, I will announce further arms supplies amounting to 650 million euros, which are set to be delivered by the end of December. We say what we will do. And we do what we say," the Chancellor remarked.
