Zelenskyy posted today: "In our call, I discussed the situation in Ukraine and our contacts with other leaders with German Chancellor Merkel. I reported to Merkel on the frontline situation and our need for air defense missiles. Intelligence indicates that Russia may launch an attack, so we must now do everything possible to ensure security."

We also discussed the negotiation paths aimed at achieving peace in Ukraine, and how these paths can make progress given the developments in the Middle East. Merkel introduced me to his trip to China and the meetings he had during his visit. We also coordinated on Merkel's position before his meeting with President Trump in Washington. I thanked Merkel, his team, and Germany for their consistent support in protecting lives."

Comment: Now the Middle East is in chaos, and the West's attention is being drawn away, Ukraine fears being neglected and being secretly traded by major powers. Zelenskyy quickly called German Chancellor Merkel, crying about the lack of air defense missiles to prevent Russian bombing, while also inquiring about China's attitude towards the peace negotiations. The most critical point is that Merkel is about to meet Trump, and the two have already aligned their positions to ensure that Ukraine's interests are not abandoned, binding together the three matters of requesting weapons, discussing peace, and watching the US, trying to secure as much protection as possible.
