the topic of arms deliveries was discussed in washington and olaf scholz the day before. actually.s is all that is known about the negotiations between the two leaders , the conversation took place behind closed doors, and neither the us president nor the german chancellor did not answer the questions of journalists. why did such a high-level visit go without concluding joint statements? photographed by alexey veselovsky it was a strange visit. the german chancellor's office reported the trip in one line just a day before departure to washington scholz went without journalists without numerous assistants and without fanfare, that is, no solemn meetings at the airport and receptions exclusively the support you have given to ukraine is very important and you have launched historic changes at home increased defense spending and reduced dependence on russian energy sources. this is very it is important that we act together, that we go step by step. and that we have made the possible transfers needed by the help of ukraine during all this time. but it is unlikely that the german chancel

he starts off meeting with chancellor olaf scholz. he will then hold a speech in the bundestag. think that is really interesting, because his late father -- it's quite interesting to see how well he holds up. >> we will be marking him for his conjugation as he goes along. >> i think they're quite popular. if you look at the polls, over 50% of germans say they are fans of the royals. i think it has many reasons. in a way they love the glitz and glamour and gloss that comes with the royal family. i don't think a day goes by when there is not a picture of the royals on the front pages. there are also historical ties. the connection has gone through generations in a way. like i said, the queens husband philip spoke german, and charles speaks german, so there is a continuous connection. basically, there is that connection, and some of the reasons for why they are so popular here. >> our correspondent, thank you. russia says it has shot down a long-range rocket fired by the u.s. to ukraine. it confirmed it was the first time moscow downed one, it follows a long way to delivery of west
