German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has arrived in Kiev, Ukraine.
According to foreign media, the visit was not announced in advance for security reasons.
Pistorius will hold meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
He told the German news agency dpa that he wants to discuss further aid for Ukraine in Kiev and get an idea of the current military situation.
"It is important for me to show with this trip that we continue to actively support Ukraine. This is a signal that Germany, as the largest NATO country in Europe, stands by Ukraine," the minister was quoted as saying.
The visit comes less than a week before Donald Trump's inauguration as US president and just over a month before early elections in Germany.
The previous evening, Pistorius discussed European aid to Ukraine with his colleagues from Poland, France, Italy and the UK in Warsaw, in particular the strengthening of the Ukrainian defense industry.
"If there is money, if there is capacity for weapons production, then Ukraine itself will provide its troops with material and weapons as soon as possible," the minister further said. /Telegraph/
