German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron will hold a secret dinner in Paris to discuss European Union policy and, in particular, Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to France.
Zelenskyy said that there are no military threats in Europe that affect only one country, as they inevitably affect others, emphasizing the need for cooperation to maintain peace and security across the continent.
Zelenskyy met with German President Steinmeier in Berlin. We talked about the situation at the front and the current defense needs of Ukraine.
Germany will provide Ukraine with artillery systems and other weapons as part of a new $1. 1 billion defense package that President Zelenskiy says will soon be deployed to the front.
Zelenskyy will sign bilateral security agreements with Germany and France on February 16 during visits to their capitals to reaffirm their long-term support for Ukraine.
Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak met with a German delegation to discuss preparations for the June Conference on Ukraine's recovery in Berlin and the creation of joint defense industries.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Kuleba praised Chancellor Scholz for his actions at the EU summit, which contributed to a positive vote for Ukraine. Scholz asked the Hungarian prime minister to leave the room, which allowed the discussion of Ukraine's EU accession negotiations to continue.
