Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been waiting for this guest for a long time, but the timing has now proven to be good. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been in office for a good year and a half, but it was only on Wednesday that he was able to make time to appear in Berlin for his inaugural visit. However, it so happened that Scholz and Sunak were able to appear together in front of the press in the Chancellery at an important moment for Ukraine, which was attacked by Russia. “It is an encouraging and necessary signal that the American Congress has now released the funds to support Ukraine. This decision shows that Putin has miscalculated,” said Scholz. Shortly afterwards, the billions in aid cleared the final hurdle. US President Joe Biden signed the corresponding law and stated that he would ensure that military aid was initiated immediately.
