US EditionMerz says Ukraine, Germany to jointly produce long-range missiles
- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on May 28, 2025, that Germany will help Ukraine jointly produce long-range missiles at home and in Germany.
- This agreement follows months of policy shifts where Western allies, including Germany, lifted range restrictions on missile supplies to Ukraine, contrasting with the previous German government's opposition over war escalation fears.
- The two leaders signed a memorandum of understanding on defense cooperation, initiating a new phase of military-industrial partnership designed to expand Ukraine’s missile capabilities amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
- Merz said at the press conference that Ukraine faces 'no range restrictions' on weapons, allowing them to defend fully even beyond their territory, supporting a €5 billion German aid package for extended military assistance.
- This cooperation implies increased pressure on Russia but also raised Kremlin warnings of escalation, reflecting a shift in German policy towards greater risk-taking to support Ukraine’s defense efforts.
