 Vice-Chancellor of Germany, head of the Ministry of Economy, Robert Habeck, visited Ukraine in honour of the visit. The official announced plans to support the armed forces of Ukraine with additional air defence iris T together with Helmut Rausch. Three systems have already been transferred to Ukraine according to build. Three of our systems are already in Ukraine, and even more will be delivered this year. The next one is in just a few weeks, he said. In turn, Habeck expressed confidence that President Vladimir Putin will not limit himself to Ukraine. If he achieves success there, he will certainly continue the war with others. Therefore, it is important for our security and peace in Europe that Ukraine successfully defends itself and that we will help it, he explained. The official clarified that Germany will support Ukraine as long as necessary. Build recalled that Habeck's arrival on a special train to Kiev is his second official visit to Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war, together with the Vice-Chancellor of Germany, the father of the iris T Helmut Rausch, arrived in Ukraine. The latter heads the arms company Dial Defense, which produces the mentioned anti-aircraft missile systems. Germany has written to dozens of countries, including Gulf Arab states, to plead for more air defence systems for Ukraine, saying Kiev needed urgent help to protect its cities, troops and critical infrastructure from the murderous onslaught of Russian missiles. In a letter to other NATO members, a copy of which was obtained by the Financial Times and confirmed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, German Foreign Minister Annalena Bebov and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, said they were launching a global initiative aimed at plugging the gaps in Ukraine's air defences. A wide range of non-NATO partners had also been approached, they added. Officials declined to identify those countries. Bebov and Pistorius said their initiative would primarily seek to procure more US-built patriot systems for Ukraine, as they had proven most effective against Russian ballistic missiles. Russia is preparing a provocation against Ukraine in Africa. Russia is preparing a provocation against Ukraine allegedly related to the illegal trafficking of Western weapons in Africa. The main intelligence directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported this on its telegram channel. It is noted that against the backdrop of the weakening positions of Russia and its proxy forces on the African continent, enemy intelligence services are preparing another information special operation directed against Ukraine. In particular, the Kremlin will try to accuse Ukrainian special forces of allegedly using weapons of foreign origin during hostilities in the Republic of Sudan. To do this, Russian propagandists planned to publish in the media, in particular in Libya, ordered publications and fabricated photographs of captured weapons of American origin previously captured by mercenaries of the so-called Wagner Group during the war in Ukraine, the statement says. It is noted that the purpose of such publications is to discredit Ukraine and its partner as well as to accuse Western allies of uncontrolled arms trafficking with the participation of Ukraine. The Kremlin will also try to emphasize that elite Ukrainian special forces are participating in combat operations in Africa at a time when Russia is waging a genocidal war in Ukraine itself. The main intelligence directorate of the Ministry of Defense noted at the same time it is added that in connection with religious holidays that continue in the Muslim world, including some African countries, Russian intelligence services were forced to fabricate the necessary photographic materials on the territory of Belarus. We emphasize that Ukraine and its defense forces continue to act exclusively within the framework of international law and the UN Charter with respect for the sovereignty of all countries and have nothing to do with any illegal actions related to illicit arms trafficking, the statement said.
