The head of the OP Andriy Ermak and his German colleague Boris Pistorius agreed on a cooperation agreement not only between Ukraine and Germany, but also with other partner countries such as Belgium, Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark. This agreement provides for cooperation in joint or funded projects aimed at strengthening the air defense capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Minister of Defense expressed his gratitude to Germany and all participating countries for their contribution to the security of Ukraine. He stressed the importance of concrete steps to protect civilians and critical infrastructure.
