Germany's Sonderstab Ukraine unit fast-tracks arms deals for Kyiv in two weeks

A dedicated German Defense Ministry unit, Sonderstab Ukraine, is bypassing standard procurement bureaucracy to finalize weapons deals for Kyiv in as little as two weeks, per FT. This marks an institutionalized acceleration of German military support, contrasting with slower domestic processes. The unit's existence signals sustained German commitment to Ukraine's defense, though its full scope and impact remain unclear.
