Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, arrived in Berlin on Sunday for his first trip there since Russia's invasion, and Berlin sent a strong message of support by announcing a new military package costing 2.7 billion euros.

Posted on Twitter, he stated, "Already in Berlin." “Weapons. a strong package. Air protection. Reconstruction. Security. NATO. The EU.

Zelensky's visit coincides with Kyiv preparing an eagerly awaited counter-offensive and comes after a day of meetings with Pope Francis and Italian leaders in Rome.

In order to regain Russian-conquered land, Ukrainian forces have been preparing a new contingent of troops and stockpiling weapons and equipment from the West, according to analysts.

Once accused of reticence in supplying military gear to Ukraine, Germany has since become a major contributor in tanks, rockets and anti-missile systems.
