In a post published on 4 October 2026 at about 16:39 UTC, the account @wartranslated relayed that Zelenskyy said Ukraine and Germany signed 15 agreements the same day with a total budget of €8 billion, covering purchases and supplies of missiles, artillery ammunition and other weapons as well as joint production, and that the two countries successfully tested a new joint interceptor drone called SPYS. The post carries a video but gives no list of the agreements, no itemised amounts and no place for the signing or the test, and no German confirmation was read. The day recorded is the publication day, which the post itself calls "today" for the signing.

Why it matters

It quantifies a bilateral arms arrangement and a joint development, which is the substance of the German support announced during the chancellor's Kyiv visit recorded the same day.
