We managed to cover many important details,” he posted.

Zelensky also wrote that the leader of the German opposition, Friedrich Merz, arrived in Kyiv today.

“Achieving peace requires the involvement of everyone who can help. We need a strong Ukraine for peace to be achieved faster and to be reliable. A strong Ukraine is what Europe, the United States, and all our partners around the world need—those who seek a world without war and want true security for all,” the President wrote.

According to him, to strengthen Ukraine, achieve a just peace more quickly, and prevent the outbreak of new wars, clear security guarantees are needed.

“Accession to the European Union, an invitation to NATO, Taurus missiles—all these elements could enhance our strength. We thank Germany for its tangible support, which is saving lives in Ukraine,” Zelensky stated.

As reported, Friedrich Merz, the leader of the German opposition and candidate for chancellor from the conservative CDU/CSU bloc, arrived in Kyiv on a visit on Monday, December 9,
