Germany's Scholz announces more military aid as Zelenskiy visits Berlin
BERLIN - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday announced a 1.4 billion euro military aid package for Ukraine by the end of 2024, telling President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that it was a signal to Russia that the West would not stop supporting Kyiv.
Zelenskiy has been meeting allies in Europe this week to present a"victory plan" to end the war while also pressing to use long-range weapons that can strike deeper into Russian territory. It centred around giving Ukraine quick access to NATO and a substantive increase in weapons supplies, including long-range missiles that could hit targets across the border so that Moscow would be more willing to enter peace talks.
Zelenskiy's trip has been stymied by the cancellation of a major summit of allied leaders in Ramstein, Germany planned for this month after U.S. President Joe Biden postponed his visit to focus on Hurricane Milton.
