BERLIN, October 4. /TASS/. Germany, along with the United Kingdom and France will organize a meeting of the "coalition of the willing" in Berlin this winter, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said.

"We, together with France and the United Kingdom, plan to hold a meeting of the coalition of the willing on Ukraine in Berlin this winter to coordinate our further assistance," he said during his visit to Kiev, as quoted by the Phoenix television channel.

Merz and German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche arrived on an unannounced visit to Kiev on Sunday, during which the chancellor announced the allocation of another package of military aid to Kiev worth one billion euro.

The Russian side has repeatedly said that flooding the Kiev regime with weapons only protracts the conflict.
