RT @deaidua: Eutelsat’s chief executive Eva Berneke told Reuters that Eutelsat has provided #Ukraine with its high-speed satellite internet for about a year, while the German government has borne the entire cost. This is a previously undisclosed assistance from the German government!
According to Berneke, less than 1,000 terminals are connecting users in Ukraine to Eutelsat’s network, while they are currently working on getting up to between 5,000 and 10,000 terminals and are in negotiations with the German government about financing the increase.

RT @deaidua: The coalition agreement of the future German government was published today. Here are the takes referring to #Ukraine.
👉 Ukraine as a strong, democratic and sovereign country that determines its future independently is of central importance for Germany's security
👉 The new German government aims to substantially strengthen and reliably continue its military, humanitarian and political assistance for Ukraine
👉 It will continue to stand firmly by Ukraine's side and provide it with military, diplomatic, economic, and humanitarian assistance for as long as necessary
👉 It will work towards a “genuine and lasting peace, in which Ukraine acts from a position of strength and on an equal footing”
👉 Germany will participate in the reconstruction of Ukraine
👉 The new German government will investigate how to utilise the frozen Russian state assets to provide Ukraine with financial and military assistance
👉 Germany will stand by the NATO...

RT @deaidua: The German MoD has just announced a new military aid package to support #Ukraine. This will be financed with the over €11 billion that were approved in March for support until 2029.
— 4 IRIS-T SAM systems (SLM/SLS mixed*)
— 300 missiles for IRIS-T SAM systems
— 30 MIM-104 Patriot missiles
— 300 reconnaissance drones
— 120 MANPADS
— 25 Marder 1A3 IFVs
— 15 Leopard 1A5 MBTs
— 14 artillery systems
— 100 ground surveillance radars
— ~ 130,000 155mm shells
The German MoD also announced that further agreements are currently being made regarding the delivery of additional IRIS-T systems in the coming years. The delivery of 1100 (!) ground surveillance radars is also on the cards.
* = In the press release, the German MoD states that the funds will be used to procure air defence systems with different ranges. This clearly indicates that the 4 IRIS-T SAM systems could actually be “only” 2 IRIS-T SLM fire units and 4 IRIS-T SLS launchers, for example.

RT @deaidua: Various media outlets have been reporting since yesterday that Germany has provided #Ukraine with a new military aid package. These are (unintentional) fake news! With this tweet I would like to explain how this happened.
With the change in government, the federal government's website has of course also been updated. Links on the website have been brought up to date, old content archived and a few other things. For some reason that I cannot explain, the date of the list of military support was also changed from the 17th of April to the 6th of May in this process.
Of course, if you look at the list now, it looks as if the latest deliveries of military material just have been made public. In reality, the weapons systems and ammunition highlighted are the same ones that were made public on the 17th of April 2025.
If you check the systems and ammunition as well as the given amounts with the tweet pinned on my profile you will see...

RT @deaidua: It looks like I need to clear up a few false assumptions that have developed in connection with the decision to not disclose Germany's military aid to #Ukraine in the future anymore.
1) That means the Taurus is coming!
Wrong. This decision has nothing to do with Taurus. I know numerous examples in which the former government has either financed or already delivered equipment that was never made public (for example, at the request of the end customer in Ukraine) or assistance was at least announced but never included in the official list of the federal government.
The new government under Merz could have handled a Taurus delivery in exactly the same way — without any problems. Simply not announce it and that's that.
You don't have to reduce transparency to zero in order to hide a delivery. When a delivery has happened, we will know it anyways due to Ukrainian attacks on targets which haven't been attacked before or due to...
