On Thursday, June 12, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius arrived in Kyiv for a visit.
This is reported by the German publication Spiegel.
Pistorius arrived in the Ukrainian capital to discuss further military assistance to the country with Ukrainian government representatives.
“We are doing everything possible to support Ukraine so that it can defend itself and find itself in a position where Russia is ready for serious negotiations,” the head of the defense department assured.
Arriving in Kyiv, the German Defense Minister condemned the intensified Russian airstrikes on the country, which he described as “extremely brutal and threatening, with a large number of cruise missiles and drone attacks.”
“This is a clear signal from Moscow: there is currently no interest in a peaceful solution, instead the strikes continue with unwavering brutality and, above all, increasingly targeted at civilian areas of Ukraine,” Pistorius said at the train station in Kyiv.
As a reminder, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated at a meeting of the Contact Group on Defense Issues in Ukraine that the first long-range weapons financed by Germany will enter service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a few weeks.
As reported, German intelligence has concrete evidence of the Kremlin’s preparations for potential aggression against NATO . Thus, the aggressor country plans to test the effectiveness of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which guarantees mutual defense in the event of an attack on one of the Alliance member states.
