Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Berlin for its continued support for his country, following German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck’s visit to Kyiv earlier in the day.
"We appreciate Germany’s leadership role, which helps not only us in Ukraine to protect lives, but all of Europe itself — to preserve the very Europe that knows how to live peacefully, knows the law and knows how to take care of people," Zelenskyy said in his daily video address on Thursday.
Habeck arrived in Ukraine on Thursday for a surprise visit. Zelenskyy said he discussed the situation on the front and the particular need for air defense systems.
Speaking to DW on Thursday, Habeck said he was optimistic that Moscow "can be stopped."
