European allies acknowledge a shortfall in long-range weapons and intend to close this gap as soon as possible.
Friedrich Merz made this statement at a press conference following the NATO summit in Ankara, according to Ukrinform’s correspondent on the ground.
“We see this capability gap and will close it as soon as possible. Intensive negotiations are underway on this matter, but they are not yet complete,” said the German chancellor.
According to him, Europe already has the necessary weapons systems, but there are not enough of them: “We already have the necessary weapons. They are very complex and very expensive, but we already have them. We simply don’t have enough of them.”
