Details: He stated nothing has changed for Germany even after the start of the war in the Middle East: “It is clear for us: we support Ukraine the same way we support Israel”.
However, he remarked that the initial situation differs significantly in the two states.
Quote: “The Armed Forces of Ukraine are only starting their modernization. The Israeli army is well-equipped, well-trained and ready to wage war tomorrow. Economic capabilities of Ukraine and Israel are also completely different. Moreover, the nature of the war is different as well.”
More details: Freuding noted that at the beginning of the great war in Ukraine, only situational support was provided for, and now there are plans to switch to long-term support.
“Together with Ukraine and other partners, we are discussing what the future Ukrainian Armed Forces must look like. One thing is clear: military support of Ukraine is our task until the end of this decade and afterwards. Our budget planning provides for funds until 2032 which is a proof of our determination,” the general stressed.
He added that it is crucial to help Ukraine develop its capacities so that Ukraine remains a free state able to defend itself and deter the aggressors.
“For me, the fight for freedom has no expiration date,” Freuding concluded.
He also revealed that since the beginning of the full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine over 8,000 Ukrainian soldiers have undergone training in Germany.
Earlier, Germany reported about a new batch of military aid sent to Ukraine, which includes different types of equipment from armoured vehicles to protective glasses.
Background: The previous military aid package included one more IRIS-T air defence system, ammunition and armoured personnel carriers.
