Shmyhal stressed that the Ukrainian delegation plans to discuss cooperation with German leadership across various sectors, including defence collaboration, energy support, reconstruction efforts, reforms, and attracting investments.

Background:

• Recently, Friedrich Merz, the conservative CDU/CSU bloc's candidate for chancellor, visited Kyiv. He assured President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Germany would do everything possible to support Ukraine.
• Merz also stated that he would provide Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles only after consultations with the United States.
• At the beginning of his visit to Kyiv, he remarked that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin would engage in negotiations only when Ukraine could effectively defend itself.
