Berlin is working to "accelerate" and "better coordinate" its support for Ukraine, with the goal of ensuring a Ukrainian victory, the top general said.

Germany is prepared to support Ukraine for the next decade, even if the conflict with Russia drags on, Brigadier General Christian Freuding said, adding that Germany is committed to helping Ukraine regain all the annexed territories it lost to Russia. 

At the Yalta European Strategy (YES) forum on Sunday, when asked if Germany was prepared to support Ukraine if the war with Russia became a long-term conflict, Freuding said that it was unrealistic to expect the conflict to end soon.

He went on to say that Germany "got the support of our parliament… for our military support for our Ukrainian friends up to the year 2032."

"We are ready and we are prepared to give long-term support… and we are ready to make time… our ally, and not time become [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s ally," he added.

Freuding stressed that Berlin is working to "accelerate" and "better coordinate" its support for Ukraine, with the goal of ensuring a Ukrainian victory.

A protracted conflict

Last month, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made public his government's intention to concentrate on supplying Ukraine with artillery, ammunition, and air defense systems. He emphasized that Germany's primary objective was to prioritize weaponry with the potential for rapid effectiveness in combat.

Additionally in August, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau conveyed that G7 leaders anticipated a protracted conflict and were prepared to offer ongoing support to Ukraine for the duration required. This sentiment was echoed by several other Western leaders.

Trudeau's evaluation aligns with the perspective of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who has cautioned that the conflict may endure for many years or even decades.

Medvedev, presently serving as the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, has characterized the conflict as fundamentally "existential" for Moscow.
