The agreement sets out a framework to manufacture Lynx infantry fighting vehicles and ammunition in Ukraine and includes provisions for repairing Gepard air-defence systems and Leopard tanks. It also aims to support joint research and development, modernisation, and technical assistance in defence production.
Key elements of the agreement involve fostering innovation, sharing technical information and best practices, and collaborating in training programmes. The cooperation is intended to strengthen Ukraine’s defence capabilities through close industrial ties with Germany.
“I am grateful to Germany for its significant contributions to supporting Ukraine, announced during the UDCG meeting. I would also like to commend Minister Pistorius for his personal leadership in supporting the Ukrainian people,” stated Minister of Defence of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.
