Reuters reported that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced €1 billion in additional military assistance during a visit to Kyiv. German and Ukrainian companies signed 14 agreements with a reported value of roughly €6.6 billion.

The industrial deals cover continued IRIS-T air-defence supply, Hensoldt radar and Quantum Systems interceptor-drone cooperation. Germany also pledged €350 million for energy repairs, separating immediate infrastructure needs from the longer-term defence-production partnerships.
