Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow’s conflict with the West was heading for the worst case scenario and that ‘no one can rule out it escalating to the last stage’
Germany is to send a new tranche of arms to Ukraine, worth 500 million Euros, the defence minister Boris Pistorius has announced. This brings Germany’s contributions to around 28 billion euros so far. Speaking in Odessa at a meeting on Thursday evening with his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umerov, Pistorius said Germany would continue to back Ukraine. “We will continue to support you in this defensive battle,” he said.
Some of the items included in the arms package are on the verge of being delivered. They include a “large number” of medium-range Iris-T SLM anti-aircraft missiles as well as a number of shorter range SLS missiles, Pistorius said.
