According to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, after the Russian invasion on February 24, Germany became the leader among European countries in the amount of financial aid, providing Ukraine with 1.4 billion euros. Ukraine received EUR 2.4 billion from the EU and expects another EUR 8 billion in macro-financial assistance. 5 billion of them – in the near future. Germany is also actively helping in this matter.
The first issue of the conversation is the issue of new arms supplies.
“This is a separate important bloc, and here there is a common vision of the need to increase the supply of heavy weapons,” Shmyhal noted.
The second issue is the energy crisis and the heating season. As the Prime Minister of Ukraine noted, Russia has unleashed an energy war against Europe. In response, the EU should completely abandon energy resources from the aggressor country as soon as possible. There is already a decision on the embargo on Russian coal and oil, but an embargo on gas is also needed. Ukraine is ready to increase its electricity supply, which will contribute to Europe’s energy security. It is important to continue joint work on the demilitarization of the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
And an equally important issue is the reconstruction of Ukraine.

“Already this fall, we have agreed to hold a high-level recovery conference in Germany. The Federal Chancellor has indicated his readiness to contribute to the detailed preparation of the Recovery Plan now, in order to quickly launch it after our victory,” Shmyhal emphasized.
