German Minister Makes Secret Visit to Ukraine

News summary

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul made a secret, unannounced visit to Ukraine, including stops in Kyiv and Odessa, accompanied by his Ukrainian counterpart and German defense industry representatives. Wadephul reiterated Germany’s commitment to supplying modern air defense systems, additional weaponry, and humanitarian and economic aid. He announced plans for joint ventures to enable Ukraine to produce its own defense equipment and emphasized deeper cooperation between the two countries. While Germany remains Ukraine's second-largest military supporter, it has declined to provide Taurus long-range missiles, citing escalation concerns, but has pledged to aid Ukraine in developing its own missile capabilities. Wadephul condemned Russia’s aggression and dismissed President Putin’s negotiation offers as insincere, characterizing them as a push for Ukraine’s capitulation. The visit highlights Germany’s ongoing support as Western aid faces uncertainty.
