Germany Continues to Provide Military Support to Ukraine in Conflict Against Russia
The German Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius, has reiterated his country’s commitment to supporting Ukraine in its ongoing conflict against Russia by sending military supplies. Pistorius emphasized that Germany’s willingness to send military supplies shows that the nation is serious about providing aid to Ukraine in their time of need.
The Defense Minister explained that “Everyone wants the terrible war waged by Russia against the Ukrainian people, which is against international law, to end as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this is not yet in sight.” He added that Germany would do whatever it can to help for as long as it’s necessary, no matter how long it takes.
Germany has already sent a significant amount of military supplies to Ukraine. These supplies include 18 Leopard-2 tanks, 40 Marder-type armored combat vehicles, 34 Gepard anti-aircraft tanks, 2 armored rescue vehicles, 2 Wisent mine clearance tanks, 2 Iris air defense systems, and Patriot air defense systems.
Apart from these, Germany has delivered 18 wheeled howitzers, artillery ammunition, guided missiles for air defense systems, 4 Iris fire units for air defense, and 12 Iris launchers to Ukraine.
Germany’s military support for Ukraine comes as the country continues to face aggression from Russia, which annexed Crimea in 2014. The conflict that followed has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, and the situation remains tense.
Germany’s support for Ukraine is a welcome gesture for the Ukrainian government and its people. They can continue to rely on Germany’s assistance for as long as it’s necessary as they work towards a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict with Russia.
