Meeting with Zelensky/ German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius arrives in Kiev

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius arrived in Kiev this Thursday to meet with Ukrainian leaders and discuss future defense support for Ukraine, the DPA news agency reported.

 "We are doing everything we can to support Ukraine so that it can defend itself and put itself in a position where Russia is prepared to enter into serious negotiations," Pistorius said, according to Reuters.

The visit marks Pistorius' first official trip to Ukraine as a minister in the new German government of Chancellor Friedrich Merz. During the tenure of former Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Defense Minister Pistorius made several visits to the war-torn country and played a key role in establishing Germany as Ukraine's leading European military donor.

During President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Berlin on May 28, Pistorius and his Ukrainian counterpart, Rustem Umerov, signed an agreement allocating 5 billion euros in military support for Ukraine.

Under the agreement, Berlin agreed to help finance the production of long-range drones in Ukraine, leveraging the country's existing industrial capacities and technical expertise.

Berlin also reaffirmed its commitment to supplying Ukraine with critical ammunition and weapons. The weapons heading to Kiev include air defense systems, artillery, ground weapon systems and pistols. /CNA
