Militärhilfe für die Ukraine: Pistorius sagt Ukraine umfangreiche Waffenlieferungen zu
Lenkflugkörper und Artilleriegranaten: Der Verteidigungsminister kündigt ein großes Waffenpaket für die Ukraine an und macht deutlich, Deutschland lasse sich nicht einschüchtern.
Berlin - Defence Minister Boris Pistorius pledged extensive arms deliveries to Ukraine to defend against Russian attacks during a video conference with the Ukraine Contact Group. He stated that Russian intimidation attempts and hybrid warfare would be ineffective not only in Ukraine but also in Germany and other partners. Pistorius emphasized, "Quite the opposite: Russia's reckless and irresponsible behavior reinforces our determination to defend peace and freedom in Europe."
Following the failed drone attack on Leipzig, Germany decided to provide urgently needed PAC-2 counter-air missiles from its Bundeswehr stockpiles to Ukraine. Germany also plans to increase supplies of air-to-air missiles from its Bundeswehr reserves to give Ukraine a larger quantity. Additionally, Ukraine is set to order several thousand more Iris-T missiles funded by the EU-Ukraine Defense Credit, with production capacity potentially increased through the establishment of an additional production line.
The aim of these aid efforts is to create a barrier against Russian airstrikes. Furthermore, Germany will finance several tens of thousands of shells of long-range artillery ammunition, to be procured in cooperation with the United Kingdom and delivered to Ukraine.
