"Spoke with German Chancellor Merz. Thank you for the support and assistance to our people, our country. Germany is one of the global leaders in protecting life, and we greatly appreciate that," Zelenskyy wrote on social media.
The key thing now is missiles for the Patriots to protect our people from Russian ballistic missiles. We talked primarily about this — about the possibility of supporting our Patriot systems with the necessary missiles, since Russia is making its final bet on missile strikes against Ukraine: Russia has no more opportunities to prolong the war,"
According to him, "we also spoke with the Chancellor about the situation at the front": "I informed him about what is happening and what results there are."
"Now, on the eve of America's Independence Day, Putin decided to lie to the world and the President of America about the situation at the front: he claims that the Russians have allegedly captured Kostiantynivka in Donbas. Of course, this is not true — it is just another Russian lie to generate some kind of news… If Kostiantynivka is now under Russian control, then Putin probably would have no problem meeting me there and finding diplomatic solutions to finally end the war. But still, he will not cross the front line: the truth is very different from Putin's words," the President stated.
"Thank you to all our warriors for defending Ukraine and our people! Thank you, Germany! Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!" Zelenskyy emphasized.
