Mirz Germany promises Ukraine to produce long -range missiles

The new German adviser, Fredchich Mirz, told Volodimir Zellinsky in Ukraine that Berlin will help Kiev in producing long -range missiles to defend itself from the Russian attack.

He said: “We want to talk about production and we will not discuss the details publicly.”

Mirz took office earlier this month, and promised to strengthen German support for Ukraine, and said this week that he had “no longer” any restrictions on the weapons provided by the Western Kiev allies.

The bull is 500 km (310 miles) and can reach deeper in Russian territory of other long -term missiles.

Although Mirz did not refer to Taurus by name during his press conference with the Ukrainian leader, he said a “memorandum of understanding” on long -range missiles that will be signed by German defense ministers and Ukrainians later on Wednesday.

The Kremlin warned that any decision to end the range restrictions on the missiles that Ukraine could use may be a very serious change in the policy that would cause efforts to reach a political deal.

However, Mirz has since confirmed that the decision to raise the restrictions of a scope has been taken by Western allies months ago.

The new advisor is seeking to cut a more assertive character on Ukraine’s support more than his predecessor, Olaf Schools.

So far, he succeeds.

There may be many questions about the details of the Merz missile cooperation plan, but its willingness to prepare large ads may regain the honorable contradictions with the cautious tone of the last government.

During his press conference with Zelensky, Merz promised to support Ukraine to continue support for the longest necessity, Moscow’s warning that it refuses to participate in other peace talks that will have “real consequences”.

Zelensky called for talks aimed at reaching a settlement in the war to involve three leaders – “Trump -Putin -me” – although he added that he was ready for any format.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not reject the idea of ​​control, but he said that this meeting could only happen after reaching “concrete agreements” between the “delegations”.

Although Ukraine and Russia held their first direct talks for more than three years in Istanbul this month, the meeting included low -level officials and were only able to agree to exchange prisoners that took place at the end of last week.

On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov suggested that an appointment will be announced to hold more talks in the “very near future”, but he made it clear that Moscow was looking to ensure “neutral, non -alignment and non -Nigerian.”

US President Donald Trump indicated this week that his patience was wearing thin with Russia’s failure to move forward in more talks.

Vladimir Putin was accused of “playing with fire”, after a fatal Russian missile killed 13 Ukrainian, including children. However, Russian officials suggested that Trump was not aware of enough in the context of the conflict.

Ukraine president urged Washington to impose sanctions on Russia’s banking and energy sectors. He said he discussed the case with Trump, adding that the US president “confirmed that if Russia does not stop, sanctions will be imposed.”

Despite the continued diplomatic maneuvers, the Ukraine Army has reported one of its largest drones on Russian targets so far during the night until Wednesday, while Zelinski said that Russia had launched more than 900 drones over three days ending early on Monday morning.

On the ground, Ukraine’s defenses were subjected to an increasing Russian attack in the northeast.

Zelinski said that Moscow “gathered” more than 50,000 soldiers along the Sumi Front, as Russian forces seized several villages across the Ukrainian border in an attempt to create what Putin calls “the security store areas.”

The governor of Sumi Oil Hirhorov said that the Russian forces had seized four villages and that the fighting was continuing near other settlements in the region.

The war, which was now fourth year, called tens of thousands of lives and left a lot of east and south in Ukraine. Moscow controls nearly five lands of the country, including the Crimea, which was included in 2014.

Zelinski accused Moscow of delaying the peace process and said it has not yet submitted a date for peace conditions after talks in Istanbul. Peskov insisted that the document was in the “final stages”.
