German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced plans to bolster military support for Ukraine following the recognition of Russia's involvement in a drone incident at Leipzig airport. Speaking at a meeting of foreign ministers from the Weimar Triangle countries, Wadephul stated that Germany intends to supply Ukraine with thousands of strike drones and missiles for Iris-T air defense systems in September.
In addition to the military aid, Germany aims to strengthen cooperation between German and Ukrainian intelligence services.
Wadephul emphasized that peace on the European continent can only be achieved by supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russia's aggression. He stressed that this support is essential for normal and reasonable relations, which currently seem to be a distant prospect. However, Germany maintains a readiness to stand together in solidarity with Ukraine, as they have made clear to Russia that they will not be intimidated.
Earlier, Wadephul informed that the European Union will begin working on new sanctions against Russian citizens in the coming weeks, following the attempted terrorist attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Germany plans to present detailed proposals for these measures to its EU partners.
