Freuding said he had visited several regions of Ukraine, including the line of contact, and was ready to discuss further cooperation.

Earlier, the head of the Bundestag's defence committee, Markus Faber, said that the current situation in Russia's Kursk Oblast is a reason to talk about more Leopard 2s for Ukraine.

Faber stated that he did not consider the possible use of German weapons in the fighting in Russia's Kursk Oblast to be a problem.

In addition, Faber believes that the offensive of Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast is legitimate and could persuade the Kremlin to end the war against Ukraine.
