Ukraine is signing bilateral defence deals with France and Germany on Friday, cited as a “historic step” Olaf Scholz, and as creating a “NATO light” in the press.
Germany signed a ten-year defence agreement with Ukraine on Friday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky visiting Berlin and inking the document with Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The agreement will see Germany give Ukraine more funds, military assistance, and apply more sanctions on Russia.
Germany said in the document that they are “unwavering in its support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within borders, which have been internationally recognised since 1991”.

Nicht so gut!
If the Russians take offense that German and French aid, money and munitions results in the death of Russian soldiers and decide to inflict physical pain and death on German and French people, does the NATO treaty require the US to go to war on their behalf? Wonder how much these agreements are supported by German and French voters.
Sehr gut!
Do those two idiots, France & Germany realize that they effectively joined the Ukraine/Russia family feud.
They had better be damned careful in exactly what kind of “military assistance” is being provided. I’m sure that any NATO direct involvement in an attack on Russia will not be very well received. In other words France & Germany, WWIII for Idiots!!!!
Hilarious.
None of them commit either party to military action.
See? Now that wasn’t too hard, was it Europe. Clean up your own neighborhood.
Like the recently signed agreement with the UK, these deals guarantee arms supplies for ten years.
The UK, Germany and France each have larger GDPs than does Russia. Combined, they are over five times bigger than Russia.
Reports from Ukraine are that Russian forces are moving westward on all sectors of the battlefront today. Do these agreements include French and German troops????
This is beginning to sound like the “entangling alliances” George Washington warned us about and which precipitated World War One when nobody really wanted it.
