Steinmeier calls Selenskyj after the visit has been canceled

In the phone call, the Federal President described Russia's targeted attacks on vital infrastructure as "vile," the spokeswoman said. Steinmeier has assured that Germany will support the restoration of destroyed infrastructure for electricity, heating and water. Steinmeier had previously canceled a visit to Ukraine planned for Thursday due to the tense security situation.

Zelenskyy expressly thanked Germany in his statement on Thursday for the delivery of the first Iris-T air defense system. He added: "We must set up an anti-aircraft shield over Ukraine immediately." Ukraine is grateful for "the German willingness to make a contribution to overcoming Russian rocket terror".

According to his spokeswoman, Steinmeier said in the phone call that Germany had "delivered the most modern technology" to support the Ukrainian air defense and would continue to do so. "The Federal President assured the President of Ukraine of Germany's undiminished solidarity and support."
