Germany and France agree to supply ammunition to Ukraine

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting According to the newspaper “Tagus Schau”, Germany and France want to cooperate with each other to supply ammunition for Ukraine on the world market. German Foreign Minister Annale Baerbock and her French counterpart Stephane Sejournay agreed on this at a meeting in Paris. It was about how Germany and France would support Ukraine with concrete steps – “for example through the global purchase of munitions”. The delegations also said that it was about how Germany and France contribute to the EU Peace Fund for Ukraine (European Peace Facility). More details were not disclosed.

German Foreign Minister Analena Baerbock wrote about this meeting on Platform X: United and determined: together we are strong.

Even before the meeting, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that his country would support a Czech plan to procure around 800,000 cannonballs for Ukraine in countries outside the European Union. Ukraine is currently complaining of a shortage of ammunition, which is why the Russian armed forces have repeatedly been able to advance, especially on the eastern front.

Recently, between Olaf Schultz, German Chancellor and French President Emmanuel Macron have been at odds over Ukraine and defense against Russia’s war. At the beginning of last week, Macron angered the German federal government by saying that the possibility of the presence of Western ground forces in Ukraine is not ruled out for him. Schultz then categorically denied this, and in turn denied any Bundeswehr deployment in Ukraine. There are relations between Germany and France. “Deep friendship and solidarity are not expressed in the fact that we always agree,” said the German foreign minister. “If you always agree, then something is wrong.” You have different opinions, you continue to unite because nothing can separate you.” And this is the deep friendship of France and Germany.
