Following visits to Kyiv by Merz, Macron, and Starmer, Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany, Alexey Makeev, expressed confidence that Germany will announce new military aid to Ukraine. The specific types of weapons to be provided remain undisclosed.
Makeev anticipates that Friedrich Merz, the new leader of the CDU, will announce new arms deliveries during his visit to Kyiv. Merz's visit follows those of French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The Ukrainian diplomat did not specify the exact weapons that might be involved. Germany aims for strategic ambiguity in disclosing military aid to avoid providing Russia with strategic advantages.
