Germany and Iceland have agreed to strengthen their military cooperation amid growing Russian threats.
A memorandum of understanding signed in Reykjavik focuses on maritime logistics, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said during a meeting with Icelandic Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir.

“Germany is, from my point of view, the leading force now in strengthening the security and defence of Europe,” Gunnarsdottir said. She highlighted plans for closer cooperation with the German air force and navy, as well as joint efforts to defend against hybrid attacks and disruptions to internet communications.
The German armed forces plan to establish a point of call on the volcanic island in the far north for warships, submarines and supply vessels.
