Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described his relationship to Germany as up and down in an interview with Spiegel, saying he was "constantly having to convince" German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to help Ukraine for the sake of Europe.
"I have to exert pressure to help Ukraine and constantly convince him that this help is not for us but for Europeans," Zelenskiy told Spiegel. "Our relationship to Germany goes in waves, it is up and down."
