Odesa welcomes the German Foreign Minister: a symbol of support and unity.

Throughout the years of war, Germany has become a key ally for Ukraine, providing substantial military aid and backing its European aspirations.

We express our gratitude to Johannes Wadaful for his visit and special attention to our region.

During his visit, Mr. Wadaful witnessed the aftermath of Russian aggression, particularly the destruction of residential buildings and infrastructure caused by bombardments.

The Minister was briefed on the security situation in the region and the operations of the Ukrainian grain corridor. We hope for further strengthening of air defense systems.

Alongside Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, we honored the memory of our fallen soldiers.

The visit of the German diplomat to Odesa confirms Germany's support in our fight for territorial integrity and sovereignty.
