Germany has almost exhausted its capabilities to support Ukraine’s air defense, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on January 26 in Berlin after a meeting with his Lithuanian counterpart Robertas Kaunas.
This is reported by Die Zeit.
According to Pistorius, Germany has already provided Ukraine with disproportionate assistance in the field of air defense: the country has supplied more than a third of its existing Patriot missile systems and is also transferring IRIS-T systems.
At the same time, the Minister of Defense noted that this is still not enough due to the intensification of Russian attacks, and called on allies to increase support for Ukraine.
“It would be good if one or two other countries could find and provide something else to support Ukraine!”, Pistorius emphasized.
Recall that in December 2025, Germany transferred to Ukraine two Patriot air defense systems , which were promised back in August, as well as the ninth IRIS-T system.
As reported, Ukraine is strengthening cooperation with Germany – new agreements worth more than 1.2 billion euros have been signed with partners.
