Support for the country under attack by Russia "has to come from Europe, it has to come from the United States," Habeck said Wednesday evening (local time) in Washington. "That's why money has to be raised in the short term for artillery production, for military support and for rebuilding the country," he said.

Habeck expressed hope that "American politicians, as well as European politicians," would release the funds.
