Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko thanks Germany for military aid to Ukraine. But he calls for additional weapons systems.

Ukraine requested Taurus cruise missiles with high accuracy and a range of 500 kilometers from the federal government. In October, Chancellor Scholz temporarily rejected a delivery, fearing that the missiles could hit Russian territory and Germany could be drawn into the conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the air force for shooting down of seven Russian fighter jets in a video message on Wednesday.
