Germany and Ukraine Forge New Alliance on Long-Range Missile Production
During a recent visit to Berlin, Ukrainian President Zelensky secured a significant pledge from Germany to aid in the production of long-range missiles. German politician Merz stated that Germany will help Ukraine develop its own capabilities to produce missiles, emphasizing that there will be no range restrictions on the weapons supplied. Despite not securing the desired Taurus missiles, Zelensky was optimistic, leaving with promises of joint production and a commitment of €5 billion in military aid. The discussions come amidst rising tensions with Russia, which has warned of a harsh response if the missiles are transferred. As the conflict intensifies, Germany is positioning itself as a critical ally for Ukraine, offering support to counter Russian aggression.
