President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed support for Ukraine with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, including the supply of missiles for Patriot systems.

The head of state said this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"I spoke with German Chancellor Merz. I'm grateful for the support and assistance to our people and our country. Germany is one of the world's leaders in protecting lives, and we deeply value that. The key priority now is missiles for the Patriot systems – to protect our people from Russian ballistic attacks. That was the main focus of our conversation: the possibility of supplying our Patriot systems with the missiles we need, because Russia is making its final bet on missile strikes against Ukraine. It has no other options for dragging out the war," the President said.

He added that he discussed the situation at the front with the chancellor. In particular, Zelensky informed his interlocutor about the progress of the fighting and the results achieved.
