Summary
Kyiv and Berlin agreed to develop anti-ballistic capabilities, with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pressing allies for concrete results by winter.
Russian ballistic missile attacks drove the deal, as Zelenskiy told the Ramstein group that Ukraine still urgently needs long-range artillery and unmanned vehicles.
TerMIT unmanned ground vehicles — able to carry up to 300 kg of ammunition, gear and water to frontline positions — will be produced in Germany.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said several German companies are interested, while Zelenskiy said Ukraine's largest missile and drone maker, Fire Point, is involved.
Zelenskiy also urged partners to create additional long-term financing tools for the Ukrainian army, broadening the push beyond immediate weapons deliveries.
