Speaking before a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, Pistorius detailed that Germany would contribute to the development of a \"protective shield\" to safeguard Ukrainian cities against such threats. The minister expressed satisfaction with the initiation of this crucial project, stating that Germany's support would extend beyond air defense, encompassing the expansion of Ukraine's military capabilities. Pistorius also confirmed that Germany would continue providing Ukraine with drones and long-range munitions, as well as finance the acquisition of tens of thousands of long-range artillery shells through a British consortium. Additionally, Germany plans to supply Ukraine with PAC-2 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems, sourced from Bundeswehr stocks.",
