Merz says Ukraine, Germany to jointly produce long-range missiles
- On May 28, 2025, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Berlin to announce joint production of long-range missiles in Ukraine and Germany.
- This announcement follows a policy shift months after the previous German government under Olaf Scholz refused to supply long-range Taurus missiles, fearing escalation with Russia.
- The leaders signed a memorandum of understanding between their defense ministries to deepen military-industrial cooperation and enable Ukraine to use long-range weapons without range restrictions.
- Germany’s defense ministry said the expanded aid package, worth about €5 billion, includes funding for weapon production, more air defense systems, and replenishment of munitions.
- The cooperation signals stronger German support for Ukraine's defense and a willingness to press Russia more, though Kremlin warns this risks escalating the conflict and complicating peace talks.
