BERLIN: German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock arrived in Kyiv on Saturday on a surprise visit, which she said was to demonstrate Berlin\u2019s unwavering support for Ukraine in its battle against Russia.
\nIt is her second trip to Ukraine and comes a week after Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal\u2019s trip to Berlin where he had repeated Kyiv\u2019s call for weapons.
\n\u201cI have traveled to Kyiv today to show that they can continue to rely on us. That we will continue to stand by Ukraine for as long as necessary with deliveries of weapons, and with humanitarian and financial support,\u201d Baerbock said in a statement.
\nOver the last weeks, Germany has sent howitzers, rocket launchers and anti-aircraft missiles to Kyiv.
\nHeavier weapons like anti-aircraft systems, rocket launchers mounted on pick-ups and anti-drone equipment are also due in a further military aid package worth over 500 million euros.
\nEarlier this week, Berlin said it would also team up with the Netherlands to train Ukrainian soldiers on demining.<\/p>\n
Baerbock said it was \u201cclear that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is counting on us getting tired of sympathizing with the suffering in Ukraine.\u201d
\n\u201cHe thinks that he can divide our societies with lies and blackmail us with energy deliveries.
\n\u201cThis calculation must not and will not work. Because all of Europe knows that Ukraine is defending our peace,\u201d she said.
\nBaerbock was the first senior German government figure to visit Kyiv in May, when she announced the reopening of Germany\u2019s embassy in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
