According to Mr. Danilov, Germany's involvement in Ukraine's post-war transformation is extremely relevant. "It would be appropriate and timely to choose economic sectors and start a lot of work right now," he said, emphasizing, in particular, cooperation in the energy, digitalization and military-industrial complex.

Oleksiy Danilov also noted the need to preserve the unity of Europe and the importance of the civilized world formulating a vision "how to make what is now called russia a territory that will not encroach on other countries."

In his turn, Martin Jaeger emphasized that his key tasks in office are "to help Ukraine win" and to develop the German-Ukrainian strategic partnership. "Ukraine is already a partner that influences the development of the EU," said Mr. Ambassador.

Martin Jaeger expressed his readiness to contribute to the deepening of bilateral economic cooperation and assured of Germany's readiness to continue to provide comprehensive assistance to Ukraine in its struggle.
