I do not doubt even more military assistance from Germany – Ukraine’s Foreign Minister after Baerbock's visit
Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, who accompanied his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock during her visit to Kharkiv, has expressed confidence that Ukraine would receive even more military assistance from Germany.
European Pravda cited Kuleba who wrote this on Twitter, posting a photo from the visit.
"Today, Annalena Baerbock and I visited wartime Kharkiv, where Russia has caused great suffering. Kharkiv is now a symbol of successful Ukrainian counterattacks, which prove that Ukraine will win with sufficient support from its partners. I do not doubt that further German military assistance will arrive," the minister said.

Baerbock visited Kharkiv on Tuesday. She became the first German official to visit the city since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In addition, she is the first foreign minister to visit Kharkiv since February 2022.
During the visit, which was kept secret for security reasons, Baerbok was accompanied by Dmytro Kuleba and Ukrainian ambassador to Germany Oleksii Makeiev.
Annalena Bearbock is one of the German federal government's most supportive members who has visited Ukraine more than once since the beginning of the full-scale war.
She has repeatedly spoken up for providing Kyiv with the necessary weapons and sharply criticised Russia and Vladimir Putin. Recently, the German Foreign Minister rejected the "Christmas truce" announced by the Russian Federation.
