Ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. president, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Thursday an allies' group aimed at speeding arms to Ukraine was best kept under U.S. leadership but would adapt if Washington changes its involvement.

The German government has prepared everything necessary to provide Ukraine with additional military assistance worth €3 billion, but discussions are still ongoing. The funds are not yet available because the country's new budget has not been approved.

The German military will establish a new division tasked exclusively with territorial defence, the army said on Saturday, bringing all existing reserve units under direct army command.
