Germany and Ukraine have signed a defense cooperation agreement alongside a Memorandum of Understanding focused on rebuilding Ukraine’s war-affected economy and industrial base, according to a statement from the German chancellery.

The agreements were finalized during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to Berlin, where officials from both countries convened for broader government-level consultations aimed at strengthening bilateral ties.

German authorities said the defense agreement is intended to deepen cooperation between the two nations in response to the ongoing conflict with Russia, which has had a significant impact on Ukraine’s security environment and economic stability.

In addition to defense coordination, the Memorandum of Understanding outlines a framework for supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts, with a particular focus on restoring industrial capacity damaged during the war. The agreement reflects ongoing international efforts to assist Ukraine in stabilizing and rebuilding key sectors of its economy.

The Berlin meetings form part of a wider series of engagements between German and Ukrainian officials, as both governments continue to coordinate on security assistance, economic recovery and long-term development initiatives tied to the conflict.
