"Communication Cut Off": What Happened Between the U.S. Pentagon and the German Ministry of Defense

Media Report: The Pentagon Cut Communication with the German Ministry of Defense, Involving Ukraine Issues as Well

According to an article from The Atlantic, citing statements by German Army Major General Christian Frohling, the U.S. Pentagon has stopped communication with the German Ministry of Defense, including discussions regarding Ukraine.

The report states: "Frohling said he could send text messages to U.S. defense officials 'around the clock,' but his communication with his colleagues in Washington has 'been cut off completely and is now entirely severed.'"

The general mentioned that the Trump administration did not inform the German government when it decided to suspend a series of arms supplies to Ukraine. Eventually, he had to seek explanations through the German embassy in Washington.

Frohling believes that the previous cooperative model in which Washington actively focused on European security assurance is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
