Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for the sanctions against Russia following the discovery of a bomb-laden drone at Leipzig airport. Zelensky lauded Merz for his response to the escalating situation and informed him of Germany's support for Ukraine's anti-drone defense. Both leaders discussed a potential drone agreement, which they are currently finalizing.
Zelensky also mentioned that Ukraine and Germany are preparing to sign the agreement, which will provide additional protection for both nations. The two leaders agreed to meet in person to finalize the deal. Zelensky expressed gratitude to Merz for Germany's reliable support and leadership in protecting Ukrainian lives, stating that new air defense packages from Germany would arrive in the coming month.
The drone was discovered near a Ukrainian aircraft on August 4th and was rendered harmless. German authorities deemed the incident as a sign of Russia's intensified threat against Europe, with several Western countries accusing Moscow of orchestrating a campaign of sabotage and disruption aimed at destabilizing the EU and undermining support for Ukraine.
