  "account": "German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul suggested in an interview that Ukrainian men of military age residing in Germany should return to Ukraine. He stated that the German government could assist Kyiv in identifying these individuals, as they are already known due to welfare payments, residency status, and other factors. Wadephul expressed the need to discuss this issue and believe it should be addressed. He also emphasized Germany's intention to increase defense orders with Ukrainian defense companies and requested the Ukrainian government to improve the volume of orders being placed in Germany. Meanwhile, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced the shipment of PAC-2 interceptor missiles from Germany to Ukraine as part of the support for American-made Patriot air defense systems. Pistorius acknowledged the challenge in balancing domestic security needs with the urgent support required for Ukraine, urging a decision in favor of Ukraine if there is any doubt.",
