Zelensky was able to secure a defence aid package worth over €2.7 billion from Germany to help with the months ahead

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has been on a whirlwind European tour, visiting Italy, Germany and France.

In Germany, after meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Zelensky was able to secure a defence aid package worth over €2.7 billion to help with the months ahead.

This includes advanced German Leopard tanks and more anti-aircraft systems to defend Ukraine from daily Russian missile and drone attacks.

Zelensky described the new tranche as “the largest since the beginning of the full-scale aggression” by Russia in February 2022.

Russia accused Ukraine of repeatedly hitting targets inside Russia, including a reported drone attack on Moscow’s Kremlin earlier this month.

“We are not attacking Russian territory,” he said after talks in Berlin with Chancellor Scholz.

“We are preparing a counterattack to de-occupy the illegitimately conquered territories,” he added.

Scholz also signed off his speech using the famous war cry made famous by his counterpart.
