Merz said that this is “the beginning of a new form of military-industrial cooperation”. – Today we are taking the first step towards the production of long -range weapons between Germany and Ukraine, also at the industrial level – Poweł.
He added that he plans to create conditions for joint production of ammunition and that Germany wanted to equip the Ukrainian army with everything that will allow her to defend. However, he did not provide details of the agreement.
Zelanski did not do it either. He only said that there were agreements regarding production in Ukraine. He assured that cooperation at industrial level could also be implemented in Germany. He stated that talks were also conducted regarding further financing of existing projects.

Merz assured that “there will be no restrictions on the range” of a weapon passed on to Kiev. Thanks to this “Ukraine will be able to fully defend itself – also against military goals [znajdującymi się] Apart from its territory, “he said.
Journalists at a press conference asked Zelanski whether the Ukrainian army still needs Taurus missiles. – As for the question about the long -range weapons produced by Germany or other countries – of course we need it, of course that we will discuss this issue – he said.
Merz, however, tried to avoid the declaration, only stating that he wanted to “allow” the supply of long -range weapons to Kiev. Zielnski also mentioned the drones, which Ukraine produces in large quantities. “They effectively help protect the lives of our soldiers,” he said.
Merz again emphasized that the lack of consent of the Russian side for a suspension of weapons would have “real consequences”. – Germans don't just want to wait. We actively prepare further actions – he said.
Russia reacted sharply to cooperation between Germany and Ukraine. The Kremlin said it was “very irresponsible” and called it “another provocation”.
