Germany's Klingbeil visits Ukraine, vows security guarantees DW 08/25/2025
Briefly

Germany reaffirmed sustained support for Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing invasion and pledged enduring security guarantees to prevent future attacks. The visit underscored the need for a strong, defense-capable Ukrainian army and ramped-up armaments production within Ukraine to enable self-defense and deterrence. The measures were framed as vital for both Ukrainian and wider European security, with close consultation planned among international partners to design reliable guarantees that ensure lasting peace. Germany emphasized that its support will not waver and positioned itself as one of the largest global supporters of Ukraine, continuing financial and material backing.
In the three and a half years that this war has been going on, we have always shown that we are not ducking away, but stand by the side of the Ukrainians. And that will also apply to security guarantees,
And the second thing is that armaments production is also being ramped up here in Ukraine as well, thereby putting Ukraine in a position to defend itself and deter [aggressors],
The important thing is that there are security guarantees in the end that mean Ukraine is no longer attacked and that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin no longer dares to attack Ukraine.
