Johann Wadephul is the German Foreign Minister. He travels to Ukraine on Saturday. He meets President Selenskyj there. Wadephul promises more help to Ukraine. Germany gives 50 million euro for people in need. The money helps to repair flats. People buy heating devices with it too. Another 10 million euro flow into a fund of NATO. People pay for drone defense with it.
Russia attacks Ukraine further. An alarm sounds while Wadephul is in Kiev. Missiles hit a suburb of Kiev. At least 1 person dies. Wadephul talks about air protection too. Ukraine needs more defense systems. He wants to talk about this with the USA soon. He believes in success for Ukraine.
Trouble exists in Russia about a German reporter. Russia looks for a journalist of the newspaper F.A.Z. there. Russia accuses him of spreading hate. Wadephul criticizes this sharply. He says that Russia wants to intimidate the press in Germany. We do not accept this. The free press is important for democracy.
