Germany's Scholz promises Zelenskyy 1.4 billion euros more military aid | DW News

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin for talks on securing support for Kyiv's "victory plan" to end the war. Scholz announced a €1.4 billion ($1.53 billion) military aid package by the end of 2024. "We need to think about next year, and to think about keeping up the level of support," Zelenskyy said. The packed, with support from Belgium, Denmark and Norway, includes more air defense systems, self-propelled Gepard anti-aircraft guns, tanks, armored vehicles, combat drones, artillery ammunition and radar. Scholz added a comprehensive military support package worth €600 million euros had been recently delivered to Ukraine. He told a press conference alongside Zelenskyy that Germany would not allow "Russia to dictate terms of peace." However, both leaders said they wanted to achieve a "just peace" for Ukraine, and indicated a desire for talks with Russia, something neither country has often said since Russia invaded in early 2022. Zelenskyy's stop in Berlin comes after he met with European leaders in London, Paris and Rome on Thursday. 00:00 Scholz promises Zelenskyy more aid 00:40 DW's Nick Connolly in Kyiv and DW's Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner in Belin 06:22 Security analyst Domitilla Sagramoso on Zelenskyy's visit #ukraine #germany #ukrainewar Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1 For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/dwnews_hangout Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch
