Germany will deepen its military cooperation with Ukraine by supporting the purchase of long-range missiles produced in the war-ravaged nation, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said.
“Our defense ministers will sign a letter of intent today on procuring long-range weapon systems produced in Ukraine — so-called Long Range Fires,” Merz said Wednesday during a joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin. “There will be no restrictions on range.”
That builds on a broader €5 billion military aid package unveiled the same day by the German defense ministry. It includes German financing for the production of long-range weapons in Ukraine which are already in service with Ukrainian forces and can be deployed within weeks.
The package also covers new contracts for air defense systems, munitions, and logistical support, including maintenance infrastructure and satellite communications.
