"What matters to me is showing with this visit that we continue to support Ukraine actively," Pistorius told the German dpa news agency on arrival. He emphasized the importance of demonstrating ongoing commitment to Ukraine amidst potential political shifts in the US and Germany.
"It is a signal that Germany, as the largest NATO member in Europe, stands at Ukraine's side," Pistorius said. This remark underscores the collaborative support of European nations unified in their defense obligations to Ukraine, particularly ahead of potential changes in US leadership.
"If the money is there, if the armaments production capacities are there, then Ukraine would be the fastest of anyone to provide its own troops with materiel and weapons," Pistorius noted. This statement reflects a strong belief in Ukraine's ability to independently bolster its military power given adequate resources.
