  • Germany has pledged a huge military aid package for Ukraine as President Volodymyr Zelensky visits the country. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed Zelensky to Berlin with military honours, marking the Ukrainian president's first trip to the country since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The aid package includes nearly 3 billion euros for weapons and equipment, making it the largest military aid package since the conflict began. Scholz expressed Germany's full support for Ukraine and condemned the Russian invasion as an imperialistic attack. Despite initial reluctance to arm Ukraine, Germany has become one of the major suppliers of military hardware, such as leopard tanks. However, Zelensky's request for warplanes from Germany was not fulfilled. His outreach to Germany, along with Italy and France, comes as Ukraine prepares for a counteroffensive in Bakhmut. Zelensky assured reporters that Ukraine is almost ready for victory but faced questions about discussions held behind closed doors, including leaked intelligence documents suggesting strikes on Russia. Zelensky dismissed the suggestion, emphasizing that the counteroffensive aims to liberate Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine and not attack Russian territory. Germany's military aid package demonstrates its commitment to supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
