BERLIN – German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday reaffirmed his unwavering support for Ukraine during a joint press conference with US President Joe Biden in Berlin, but stressed that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) must not become a party to the war.

"We stand with Ukraine, as long as it is needed," Scholz said, adding that actions have been very closely coordinated across the Atlantic.

He stressed that NATO must not become a party to the war to prevent it from causing a greater disaster.

Biden noted that the two sides would hold talks to discuss ongoing efforts to surge support to Ukraine's military, shore up Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure, and help Ukraine recover by unlocking the value of frozen Russian assets.
