German Defense Minister arrives in Kyiv for talks on defense industry

Today, May 11, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius arrived in Kyiv to hold talks on expanding cooperation with Ukraine in the defense industry.

It was reported by the German news agency dpa.

It is noted that the German defense minister’s visit to Ukraine was not announced in advance for security reasons.

At the start of his trip, Pistorius told the agency that new projects would focus on the joint development of modern unmanned systems of all types.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the German government has allocated USD 1.6 billion to modernize the seaport in Bremerhaven in the country’s northwest to prepare it for the possible transport of military equipment.
