The President of Ukraine briefed the interlocutor on the situation at the front and the current needs of Ukraine's defenders in countering Russian aggression.

Volodymyr Zelensky noted the great importance of the Agreement on security cooperation between Ukraine and Germany signed today in Berlin, which is an important step in bolstering the defense capabilities of our country.
