German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Monday (November 4) that Ukraine needs support to ensure its very survival as Kyiv heads into its third winter of war exacerbated by North Korean weapons aid and massive Russian airstrikes on civilian infrastructure, Reuters reports.
"We are countering this brutality with our humanity and support, so that Ukrainians can not only survive the winter, but so that their country can survive. Because they are also defending the freedom of all of us in Europe," said Baerbock in a written statement released on Monday during her eighth visit to Ukraine.
The German foreign minister, who was last in Ukraine in May, is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and her Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, while in the capital.
