I had a meeting in Kyiv with Germany’s Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius. Our conversation focused on key priorities: building a comprehensive air defense shield, investing in Ukraine’s defense industry, ramping up Ukraine’s defense capabilities, training and supporting our soldiers on the battlefield. I am grateful to Germany for its unwavering support, which has not only strengthened Ukraine’s defense but also played a crucial role in enhancing Europe’s security as a whole. Germany has made one of the largest contributions to protecting Ukraine’s skies and saving countless lives, providing approximately 16% of all the aid Ukraine has received. We also discussed coordination with our partners to bring about a just peace and reviewed the outcomes of yesterday’s Group of 5 meeting of the defense ministers from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Poland.

Médecin et pilote d’hélicoptère, première femme générale de l’armée française, première femme élevée à la dignité de grand-croix de l’ordre national du Mérite, Valérie André n’est plus. Médecin militaire, elle a évacué, aux pires heures de la guerre d'Indochine, plusieurs soldats français, avec dévouement et courage. Je salue sa mémoire.
