Germany and the United Kingdom will sign a bilateral defense arrangement in London on Wednesday aimed at enhancing regional security in response to Russia's recent aggressive actions on the continent.
Named the Trinity House Agreement, the measure will encompass the joint development of long-range weapons, establish integrated deployments along NATO's eastern borders, safeguard the region's communication infrastructure, and collaboratively monitor Russian naval activities.
British Defense Secretary John Healey described the pact as “a milestone moment in our relationship with Germany,” while also highlighting its benefits for Europe.
In a statement on the new partnership, Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius noted that the preparations are necessary because “Russia is waging war against Ukraine, it is increasing its weapons production immensely and has repeatedly launched hybrid attacks on our partners in Eastern Europe.”
The accord follows similar commitments the two allies have with France, creating a potential opportunity for additional participation from Paris.
