Germany and France have decided to expand a joint military support package against Russia's war on Ukraine. The two countries have reached a new aid agreement to enhance the defensive capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The package plans to provide various military equipment, including air defense systems, artillery ammunition, and armored vehicles. Germany and France reiterated their commitment to supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity and resilience against Russian attacks.
The decision came following 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.
