Olaf Scholz, the Chancellor of Germany, held a meeting with senators during his visit to the United States.

Scholz said on Twitter (X) that Ukraine needs all kinds of support to defend itself against Russian aggression. "It was good to talk again with members of the US Senate from both sides of the aisle," he noted.

Before he visited the United States, the Chancellor of Germany published a column in The Wall Street Journal, cautioning against Russia's victory in Ukraine and calling for continued support for Kyiv.

Scholz travelled to Washington on 8 February and is set to hold talks with President Joe Biden on 9 February.

On 8 February, the US Senate adopted a procedural decision for further consideration of the bill allocating additional assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
