Before trip to the USA: Olaf Scholz promotes transatlantic solidarity in Ukraine aid. The EU and its members are Kiev's largest financial supporters with 84.4 billion euros.
On Wednesday, another attempt by US President Joe Biden to get his billion-dollar military package for Ukraine through Congress failed. The sooner Russian President Vladimir Putin understands that the West is prepared to defend itself in the long term, the faster the war in Ukraine can end, writes Schalz. The Chancellor wants to meet with members of Congress in Washington on Thursday evening.
