Heavy weapons for Kyiv?
Chancellor Scholz talks to President Selenskyj
Munich/Kyiv - Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is fighting in Kyiv with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the delivery of further heavy weapons from the stocks of the German Bundeswehr.
Meanwhile, a number of seriously injured Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are being treated in Germany.
Flown out of the border in eastern Poland on an Airbus A310-304 MRTT, the Air Force's flying intensive care unit.
This is reported by ZDF "Today".
A wounded soldier is also interviewed in the post.
His pseudonym is "Sascha", the 21-year-old young man is being treated medically in the St. Josef Hospital in Bochum.
"Sascha" says that he was on patrol with his unit when a projectile struck next to them.
It hit him badly.
Shrapnel severed an artery and shredded nerves in his legs.
Now the clinic staff, together with the patient, is trying to restore his motor skills.

“No one should experience war, no one in the world.
It's better not to know what war means," says "Sascha" in the ZDF contribution: "I wouldn't wish on anyone to have to have this experience.
But everyone in Ukraine has this now: war.
It's hard." Once he's healed, he wants to go back home to continue fighting, he affirms.

The managing director of the St. Josef Hospital Bochum, meanwhile, described impressions of traumatized war invalids from the Ukraine.
“Fortunately, we don't have much to do with war casualties in Germany.
That's why it's something new for many of our doctors.
There is only a language problem.
Many of the patients are traumatized.
Language problems plus traumatization is a challenge,” explained Prof. Christoph Hanefeld.
Germany has already stressed that it intends to continue caring for seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the Federal Republic.
