Germany on Wednesday rejected the possibility of supplying Ukraine with fighter planes and in return receiving them from the United States of America.

According to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, "the supply of combat aircraft is by no means among the possibilities.

The German official was speaking at a press conference in Berlin after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

A German Foreign Ministry representative said yesterday that the debate about the possible delivery of aircraft to Kyiv within the alliance continues, but stressed that NATO starts from the fact that it is necessary to avoid direct involvement in the war in Ukraine.

The German government provides financial support to Ukraine and also sends humanitarian aid, military equipment and, exceptionally, defense weapons.

Trudeau also indicated that Canada will continue to supply weapons to Kyiv, but said that caution must be shown so as not to "expand" the conflict, since the goal is to "de-escalate" the situation.

The Canadian prime minister said that in the coming days his government intends to deliver to Ukraine "specialized equipment," including drone cameras, although the transport presents a number of "logistical challenges."

On Tuesday, the Polish government announced that it was "prepared" to hand over its MiG aircraft to U.S. forces at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, and then forward them to Ukraine, in exchange for an equivalent number of used F-16 aircraft.

However, this offer was rejected by US Defense Department spokesman John Kirby.

Scholz and Trudeau also discussed during the meeting supporting each other in addressing energy supply challenges in the face of conflict with Moscow, with the German chancellor reiterating that he is not in favor of ending energy imports from Russia, as Europe is not in the same situation as the United States, an oil exporter.
