Germany's Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, wrote on Twitter on Monday that Berlin is doing everything "to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses," and called the latest attacks by Russia "despicable".

Berlin said on Monday that it was rushing to Ukraine air defense systems capable of protecting entire cities, following an attack earlier today by Russia that targeted Ukraine's infrastructure using precision-guided missiles.

Bewohner*innen von Kiew in Todesangst im Morgenverkehr. Ein Einschlagskrater neben einem Spielplatz. Es ist niederträchtig & durch nichts zu rechtfertigen, dass Putin Großstädte und Zivilisten mit Raketen beschießt. Wir tun alles, um die πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Luftverteidigung schnell zu verstärken.

— Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock (@ABaerbock) October 10, 2022

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a meeting of the Russian Security Council today that "a massive air, sea, and land-based precision long-range weapon was launched against energy, military command, and communications facilities of Ukraine."

Earlier in June, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised Ukraine the Iris-T systems, which he said are capable of shielding a large city from air raids.

Germany's army already has Iris-T missiles, but not the complete surface-to-air system.
