Germany's Defence Ministry: the unit fast-tracking arms deals for Ukraine

A winter view of the German Federal Ministry of Defence building in Berlin, with a snow-covered forecourt in the foreground. According to press reports, the closed 'Sonderstab Ukraine' unit operates here to speed up the conclusion of arms supply contracts for Kyiv. The strict neoclassical architecture with a red roof and a coat of arms in the pediment underscores the official nature of the ministry.
