Germany is one of the main financial backers of Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, according to Handelsblatt.

According to the chancellor, Germany is also far ahead of continental Europe in supplying arms and ammunition.

He criticized harsh statements of German politicians about the domestic situation, as well as open criticism of partners and allies. According to him, talk about possible differences in interests only benefits Russia.

Scholz reiterated that it was impossible for NATO countries to become a party to the conflict, despite all their assistance to Ukraine. The chancellor also noted that NATO would continue to coordinate closely with its partners on arms supplies. And he again promised Ukraine membership in the EU.
