KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Ukraine for the first time in more than 2 1/2 years Monday.

The visit comes just weeks after he was criticized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for having a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Their call came at a time of widespread speculation about what the new administration of President-elect Donald Trump will mean for Ukraine.

Scholz said that, in his meeting with Zelenskyy, he will announce further military supplies this month totaling 650 million euros.
