German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made an unexpected visit to Kyiv on Monday, vowing his country would remain Ukraine's biggest supporter in Europe and promising delivery this month of military aid worth 650 million euros ($683 million), APA reports citing Reuters.
Scholz will hold talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who is set to push NATO to invite Ukraine to join the military alliance at a meeting in Brussels this week.
"Germany will remain Ukraine’s strongest supporter in Europe," Scholz wrote on X.
At the meeting with Zelenskiy, he said he would "announce further military equipment worth 650 million euros, which is to be delivered in December."
