Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Iryna Mudra met with Bundestag member from the Social Democratic Party of Germany Ralf Stegner who visited Ukraine for the first time in over 10 years.

During the meeting, the parties discussed security, economic, diplomatic, and legal cooperation between Germany and Ukraine.

Iryna Mudra expressed gratitude to Germany and the German people for their unwavering support of Ukraine. She emphasized the importance of quickly finalizing the creation of an international compensation mechanism and a special international tribunal for the crime of aggression.

Ralf Stegner noted Ukraine's ratification of the Rome Statute and supported the idea of directing frozen Russian sovereign assets to the international compensation mechanism. According to Ralf Stegner, this aligns with the interests of all European countries. He also emphasized that Germany's support for Ukraine will not diminish under any circumstances.

Iryna Mudra and Ralf Stegner agreed that their meeting is an important step toward broader dialogue and cooperation between the two countries.
