UK and Germany Forge Defense Pact, Prompting Moscow Warning
Germany and the United Kingdom have solidified their alliance through a new defense pact, the “Kensington Treaty,” committing mutual aid in case of attack, and fostering greater defense integration. This agreement also hints at increased long-range weapon support for Ukraine, prompting renewed warnings from Russia of potential military strikes on European targets. The treaty, encompassing 17 joint projects, includes the development of advanced weaponry and cooperation on submarine threats, unmanned aerial systems, and strengthening NATO’s eastern flank. It further promotes joint military-industrial exports and builds upon the trend of rapid European defense integration in light of the war in Ukraine.
