Annalena Baerbock noted that, thanks to the global initiative she launched together with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, almost one billion euros have already been raised to support the Ukrainian air defense forces, writes DW. The German minister also strongly supported Ukraine's accession to the European Union.

Ukraine has been on the defensive for months due to a lack of weapons, ammunition and soldiers.

Shortly before the current visit to Kiev, Baerbock again called for the urgent supply of additional air defense systems and Western fighter jets to Ukraine.

For security reasons, Annalena Baerbock could not visit Kharkiv. She was there in January 2023 and now intended to re-examine the situation of the civilian population in the region.

Polls show that the top five candidates have a chance of advancing to the second round, which will take place in two weeks. Additionally, parliamentary elections are scheduled for the following week.
