President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with the Federal Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz.
The leaders discussed Russia’s attack on the airfield in Leipzig.
“This is yet another Russian escalation, and it is important that Germany responded. Friedrich briefed me on the measures taken. For my part, I assured him that Ukraine is ready to help – with expertise, experience, or in other areas where Germany may need it,” the Head of State said.
They discussed the work of the teams that are already finalizing the text of the Drone Deal. This will provide additional defense capabilities for both Germany and Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Friedrich Merz discussed the substance of the agreement and a possible date for its signing. The leaders also agreed to meet in person.
The President thanked Friedrich Merz for Germany’s steadfast support and leadership in protecting the lives of Ukrainians. This month, Germany will provide new air defense packages.
