German Chancellor Olaf Scholz once again urged NATO allies to continue their support for Ukraine following a meeting of European NATO leaders in Brussels.
“We must ensure our long-term support for Ukraine,” Scholz said today.
“It should be clear that we are prepared to provide support for as long as necessary,” he added.
Top leaders from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Denmark, and the Netherlands met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday evening at the invitation of NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
The meeting aimed to discuss further opportunities to support Ukraine, amid growing concerns that newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump might reduce U.S. aid to Ukraine once he takes office at the end of January.
Scholz said he had asked his allies to consider additional support, including air defense systems, artillery, and ammunition.
He pledged that Germany would continue to be Ukraine’s largest supporter in Europe.
