Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet today with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a spokesman said of the German government, quoted by the agency "Bloomberg" and BTA.
The speaker indicated, without giving further details, that the two leaders will meet face to face this morning in Germany, where Zelensky will arrive on a visit, notes "Bloomberg", quoted by the UNIAN agency.
Ukraine's allies, including US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, also plan to hold a meeting today in Ramstein, Germany, to discuss further aid to Kiev.
Germany is one of the largest arms suppliers to Ukraine, having provided Kiev with military equipment worth nearly 28 billion euros since the beginning of the Russian invasion, UNIAN points out. Scholz said on Wednesday that Germany will provide 17 units of advanced air defense systems to Ukraine to help it reflect Russian attacks.
Zelensky will arrive in Germany for the meeting of the Contact Group on Military Assistance to Ukraine, known as the "Rammstein" format, as he wants to personally make a request to his Western partners to increase military aid to Kiev, notes UNIAN.< /p>
