Germany will be \u201crepresented at a high level in the leadership,\u201d he said Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new command, the name of which is still being debated, will have a staff of 700 people, the U.S. State Department has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/News-Stories\/Article\/Article\/3825094\/austin-underscores-us-commitment-to-ukraine-in-meeting-with-counterpart\/#:~:text=%22These%20efforts%20do%20not%20make,right%20to%20self%2Ddefense.%22\">announced<\/a>. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stressed that \u201cthese efforts do not make NATO party to the conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian state media and government officials have repeatedly said they consider the war in Ukraine a conflict between their country and NATO as a whole and the U.S. specifically due to their crucial support of Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pistorius also announced that Germany will buy \u201ctens of thousands of rounds\u201d of armaments this year through the Czech munitions initiative. He pledged to continue the military support of Ukraine more broadly, noting that the third German-donated patriot system had recently arrived in the eastern European country and was already operationally deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Washington, Germany will present a plan for NATO to buy drones \u201cfrom German industry\u201d on behalf of the Ukrainian armed forces, Pistorius said. This proposal would serve as \u201ca foundation for our partners for the joint procurement of drones of all kinds,\u201d he said while speaking to the press in Fairbanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bundesregierung.de\/breg-de\/schwerpunkte\/krieg-in-der-ukraine\/lieferungen-ukraine-2054514\">According to the German government<\/a>, the country has already provided 537 surveillance drones to Ukraine, mostly VECTOR and RQ-35 HEIDRUN models. The proposed initiative would encourage NATO to jointly procure these and other German-made drones on Kyiv\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of the end of April, Germany had provided a total of \u20ac10.2 billion ($11.03 billion) in military goods to Ukraine since the onset of the invasion, putting it second only to the U.S. on the list of Kyiv\u2019s most dedicated supporters. In 2024 alone, the government in Berlin has already authorized the export of \u20ac4.88 billion in armaments to Ukraine, contributing to <a
