Outgoing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron said in Berlin tonight that Ukraine can count on continued military aid, after Russia demanded a "complete cessation" of Western military aid.
"We both agree that Ukraine can count on us, that Ukraine can count on Europe and that we will not let it down," Scholz said.
"We continue to support the Ukrainian army in its war of resistance to Russian aggression," Macron said, adding that the announced ceasefire on Ukrainian energy infrastructure should be "verifiable."
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a telephone conversation with his American counterpart Donald Trump today that he agreed to a 30-day ceasefire on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and ordered its implementation "immediately," the Kremlin said.
The Russian president asked Trump to cut off Western aid to Ukraine.
"The Russian side highlighted a number of key points regarding the effective control of a possible ceasefire along the entire line of contact, the need to end forced mobilization in Ukraine, and the rearmament of the Ukrainian armed forces," the Kremlin said in a statement.
