Russian war of aggression: Wadephul gives Ukraine hope for Patriot missiles
The Foreign Minister is being shown how important air defense is during his visit to Kyiv. He promises further support.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has pledged an additional 50 million euros in humanitarian aid to Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv. He expressed hope that Ukraine will receive further assistance for air defense, and said he will continue to urge allies to provide Patriot missiles. The visit coincided with a Russian missile attack on a Kyiv suburb, killing two people and injuring many, and highlighted the need for air defense systems.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Wadephul for Germany's support, calling his visit a "strong signal". Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, has vowed to intensify attacks on Ukraine in response to recent Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian targets.
