Deadly Russian Attacks Persist As Ukraine Bolsters Defense Ties With Germany And Norway
"About 25 others were injured in the missile strike in Dnipro, 10 seriously, regional head Oleksandr Hanzha said on Telegram. The air force had warned of the threat of a Russian ballistic missile attack on the large southeastern city not far from the front line."
"In Berlin, German Chancellor Freidrich Merz told a news conference that ties with Kyiv would be elevated to the level of a 'strategic partnership' with a focus on defense."
"'What we are doing in this cooperation is not only beneficial for the defense of Ukraine. It is also of particular benefit to us, for our security,' Merz said."
"The two countries pledged to 'strengthen cooperation in the air defense field' and Germany said it would 'continue supporting Ukraine's drone industry as well as establishing drone co-production ventures.'"
On April 14, Russian missile strikes in Dnipro killed five people and injured about 25, with 10 seriously hurt. A drone strike in Cherkasy resulted in the death of an eight-year-old boy and injuries to nine others. These attacks followed accusations of violations of a cease-fire. Germany has become Ukraine's largest military supporter, pledging to enhance defense cooperation and support Ukraine's drone industry. German Chancellor Freidrich Merz emphasized the mutual benefits of this partnership for security.
