Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”

India has responded to recent sanctions announced by the European Union, stating that it does not subscribe to any unilateral sanction measures and emphasizing.. DNA
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi launched a fiery rebuke against the U.S. and EU, accusing Washington of warmongering and using diplomacy as a facade for conflict. He slammed the EU’s pressure tactics, warning of dire consequences if snapback sanctions are imposed. Araghchi reminded that it was the U.S. that abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal and insists any new negotiations must include guarantees against future strikes, accountability for recent conflicts, and fairness-especially regarding Israel’s nuclear arsenal and regional stability.

Russia has issued a stark warning to Germany over its decision to lift restrictions on supplying long-range weapons to Ukraine. Moscow’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu threatened a “massive response” if Germany delivers Taurus missiles, calling it a move that risks direct war. Following Zelensky’s meeting with Chancellor Merz, speculation grows around German involvement. While Germany promises support in developing Ukraine’s missile capability, Russia labels the move dangerous and provocative, with some warning it could ignite a wider conflict.

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently.

Russia has issued a sharp rebuke to Germany, invoking its Nazi past and warning against its large-scale rearmament and NATO’s expansion. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the military buildup near Russia’s borders "alarming," accusing Germany of fueling instability. As Berlin passes a $550B military fund and lifts missile restrictions with allies, Moscow warns of dire consequences. Lavrov also reignited rhetoric about “denazification,” framing Germany’s actions as provocative amid high-stakes talks between Zelensky and German Chancellor Merz.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Berlin to meet Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President Steinmeier, seeking vital military aid including Taurus cruise missiles with a 500km range. While Merz has shown support for missile deliveries—unlike his predecessor—approval remains uncertain amid coalition tensions. Zelensky aims to secure weapons that could enable Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. Germany, Ukraine’s top European defense donor, is navigating a delicate balance as U.S. support wavers, with calls for a united European response and tougher sanctions if no ceasefire emerges.

Germany is preparing its military for a possible conflict with Russia by 2029, according to a leaked directive. Signed by Bundeswehr chief Carsten Breuer, the order calls for advanced long-range strike systems, enhanced air defense, and stockpiles of ammunition. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also lifted restrictions on weapon range to Ukraine, signaling a strategic shift. Germany plans to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP and may end its volunteer military model. The move comes amid economic strain and restructuring of legacy defense firms like ThyssenKrupp.
