  The German Foreign Minister announced $21 million in aid from Berlin to Kyiv amid Western support for the war in Ukraine. The total volume of German assistance to Ukraine in the field of arms and security in 2022 amounted to about $2.17 billion, and this year reached $5.85 billion. According to AAA news agency, German Foreign Minister Analena Bärbock, during her unexpected visit to Kyiv on Monday, promised assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $21 million.

At a joint press conference with her Ukrainian counterpart, Burbock said that this assistance is in line with Ukraine's preparations for the coming winter. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba also said at this press conference that if the country had Taurus cruise missiles, it could be more successful against Russia. The German Foreign Minister recently said that sending Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine would be a difficult task because it would be difficult to agree on all the details. The sending of military equipment to Ukraine by Western countries led by the United States led to the outbreak of war in this country.
