Germany will continue to support Ukraine, including through a €50 billion loan as part of the G7 group, according to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on social media platform Twitter (X).
Scholz emphasized that Germany has been and remains the European country providing the most support to Ukraine.
"And we continue our support: with a €50 billion loan that we are initiating together with the G7. This will enable Ukraine to purchase weapons on a large scale. It can rely on this," stated the German Chancellor.
