Ukraine proposes that Germany test new defence technologies under the Test in Ukraine platform

Ukraine stands ready to share its unique combat experience and digital solutions with Germany, as well as to facilitate the testing of new defence technologies under the Test in Ukraine platform. Ukraine’s Minister of Defence, Mykhailo Fedorov, discussed mechanisms for such cooperation during a meeting with members of the Defence Committee of the German Bundestag, led by Thomas Röwekamp. 

The parties also discussed key defence priorities: 

• strengthening air defence;
• ensuring the supply of long-range ammunition;
• advancing drone capabilities. 

Mykhailo Fedorov highlighted the role of the Bundestag in directing resources to the most impactful areas for the Defence Forces.

“We are deepening a partnership that delivers tangible results on the battlefield and strengthens the security of all of Europe,” Mykhailo Fedorov said.

 

The Ukrainian side presented its three-domain approach to warfare—air, land, and the economy—along with the dynamics of combat operations and the outcomes of implementing technological solutions on the front line.

The Minister pointed to specific performance indicators: russian losses reached a record monthly level and exceeded russia’s monthly mobilisation capacity. This is the result of systematic work—from the implementation of innovations to resource management and the development of the Defence Forces’ technological capabilities.
