Pistorius explains why Germany benefits from helping Ukraine

Germany receives direct strategic benefit from military support for Ukraine, learning innovations directly from the experience of modern warfare. This was stated by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, DW reports.

He emphasized that the German side is actively adopting Ukrainian achievements in the areas of cyber defense and unmanned systems. According to the head of the Bundeswehr, Ukraine has developed an incredible potential in the field of operational efficiency out of necessity, because the latest technologies are developed there not in laboratory conditions, but "literally - on the battlefield."

In order to make this cooperation even more effective, the German Ministry of Defense decided to send additional military attachesBoris Pistorius to the embassy in Kyiv. They will become key contacts for establishing close ties in the defense sector.

In addition, the German government plans to launch a special coordination office for companies seeking to cooperate with Ukraine. As Pistorius emphasized, such an exchange of experience is critically important for the modernization of the German army, since the speed of innovation in Ukraine today is unprecedented.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the first-ever Bundeswehr military strategy in history was presented in Berlin, in which the russian federation is named the main threat.

In March, Germany announced that instructors from Ukraine would prepare Bundeswehr soldiers for defense against russia by 2029.

As we will recall, in January of this year it became known that a territorial defense division would be formed in Germany to protect military and infrastructure facilities.
