'We know who lives here' — German foreign minister floats giving Kyiv data on Ukrainian men eligible for conscription

The German foreign minister also encouraged Ukraine to increase its arms purchases from German companies. These moves come as Kyiv reports that the majority of the approximately 1,000 Patriot missiles it has ordered will take several years to arrive.
