The German Defense Minister has announced that Germany will provide an additional €1.9 billion in aid to Ukraine, augmenting the previously allocated €7 billion. However, it was made clear that Taurus missiles would not be part of this assistance package. In response, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy affirmed that Ukraine will continue to receive the IRIS-T air defense system from Germany and expressed plans to strengthen cooperation with Germany in the development of long-range drones and missiles by 2025.
