The German ruling coalition has agreed on a 10-point plan for intensive military cooperation with Ukraine. This was reported on December 15 by the Bild newspaper with reference to the document.

"It is planned to launch a comprehensive partnership in the field of armaments with Ukraine. In the medium term, this means that German-Ukrainian weapons will be used on the front line and the German armed forces will also use them," the newspaper writes.

The material indicates that the plan involves regular consultations of departments on arms issues. Germany also plans to increase the share of the German arms business in Ukraine and ensure a constant exchange of views on the needs of various types of weapons.

The break in contacts occurred against the background of the US decision to suspend part of the aid to Kiev.

On December 14, Roderich Kiesewetter, a member of the Bundestag from the Christian Democratic Union, announced the need to transfer Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine and provide it with reliable security guarantees. He also called on Europe to take over air defense over Western Ukraine.

She also noted that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the head of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen repeat the mistakes of their predecessors.
