BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Olaf Scholz assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Germany's continued military support in their first official call since Scholz spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month.

"I agreed with Zelenskiy that we will remain in contact - also with a perspective to possible paths to a just peace," wrote Scholz on social media platform X on Friday.
