German Chancellor Scholz In Ukraine

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is visiting Ukraine for the first time in more than 2 1/2 years. The visit Monday comes just weeks after he was criticized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for having a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Their call came at a time of widespread speculation about what the new administration of President-elect Donald Trump will mean for Ukraine. Scholz said that in his meeting with Zelenskyy he will announce further military supplies this month totaling 650 million euros. He said that “Ukraine can rely on Germany — we say what we do and we do what we say.”
