Germany and France have decided to increase their joint military support against Russia's war on Ukraine. The two countries have agreed on a new aid package to strengthen the defense capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The agreement plans for the provision of various military equipment, including air defense systems, artillery ammunition, and armored vehicles. Germany and France reiterated their commitment to preserving Ukraine's territorial integrity and supporting its resilience against Russian attacks.
The decision came after calls within the European Union to strengthen solidarity with Ukraine. The two countries' leaders announced they would continue to support Ukraine's legitimate right to self-defense.
Work is continuing on the logistical details and delivery schedule of the military aid. This move is seen as part of the coordinated response of Western allies against Russia's military operations.
