Germany will stop reporting arms deliveries to Ukraine, Merz says

On May 10, 2025, during a visit to Kyiv, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced that Germany will cease publicly disclosing specific information about its military assistance to Ukraine.
This decision follows initial sporadic reporting since Russia's February 2022 invasion and aims to reduce public debate and increase secrecy.
The government plans to maintain financial support and arms shipments including air defense systems, drones, and ammunition while creating 'strategic ambiguity' to deny Russia advantages.
Merz announced that Germany will substantially limit public disclosures about arms shipments and expects other European leaders to adopt a similar approach to protect operational security.
This shift implies a covert approach to arms deliveries, reflecting a wartime strategy to protect aid details while continuing Germany's commitment to Ukraine's defense.
