According to Ukrinform, Zelensky reported this on Telegram.

"I met with President of the German Bundestag Julia Kloeckner. We discussed mechanisms that would make it possible to use frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. We appreciate Germany's leadership on this issue. We also spoke separately about our joint efforts with partners to end the war, establish a dignified peace, and guarantee security," Zelensky said following the meeting.

He also expressed gratitude to the Bundestag president and to the entire Bundestag for supporting Ukraine, specifically for allocating EUR 11.5 billion in defense assistance for next year. "This will help our warriors and our country defend against Russian aggression," he said.

As reported, Zelensky is visiting Germany on December 15.
