German parliamentary support is necessary for the country&#8217;s policy in Ukraine, as parliament approves funding and would have a final say on any deployment of troops in the event of a ceasefire. Spahn and Miersch&#8217;s visit comes as Germany&#8217;s governing coalition of CDU\/CSU and SPD seeks to project unity and reinforce its commitment to Ukraine&#8217;s defense.&#8221;We are grateful to Germany for its leadership in supporting our people, especially for the Patriot systems and missiles, and IRIS-T systems \u2013 all of which are saving the lives of our people. We also spoke about further bolstering the protection of our skies,&#8221; Zelenskyy said of the meeting.The lawmakers visited the site of last week&#8217;s large-scale Russian airstrikes involving drones and missiles, assessing the damage for themselves. Spahn and Miersch also visited the Kyiv suburb of Bucha, which was the site of a brutal massacre of civilians by Russian forces, which Moscow denies took place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"German defense minister Boris Pistorius (AP) Two top lawmakers from Germany&#8217;s ruling coalition made a surprise visit to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[135693,30090,2000,135690,299,5187,1699,1824,17860,135692,135691,110036,657,14432],"class_list":{"0":"post-391660","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-bucha-massacre","9":"tag-cdu-csu","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-eu-remarks","12":"tag-europe","13":"tag-european","14":"tag-european-union","15":"tag-germany","16":"tag-jens-spahn","17":"tag-matthias-miersch","18":"tag-patriot-systems","19":"tag-russian-invasion","20":"tag-ukraine","21":"tag-zelenskyy"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115134250769502436","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
