President Zelensky expressed his gratitude to the German government for its military support, particularly in strengthening Ukraine's air defense capabilities.

The German Chancellor and the Ukrainian President agreed to maintain a constructive dialogue on possible ways to achieve a just peace in Ukraine and to keep close contact.

Earlier in the day, Scholz addressed the Bundestag, where he reiterated Germany's commitment to supporting Ukraine but once again ruled out the transfer of long-range weapons.
