"It is very important to support Kiev, we do it on a large scale and Europe is united in supporting Ukraine in defending its country," says German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The weapons supplied to Kiev "for air defense are very important at this time when there are so many missile attacks by Russia," he adds.

"This is the contribution" to offer "to prevent Ukraine from being unable to resist," he says. The EPC summit is taking place in the Moldova capital, Chisinau.
