Military aid for Ukraine: Pistorius promises Ukraine extensive weapons deliveries
Guided missiles and artillery shells: The Defense Minister announces a large weapons package for Ukraine and makes it clear that Germany will not be intimidated.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has pledged further extensive weapons deliveries to Ukraine to defend against Russian attacks. Speaking at a video conference of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group (UDCG), Pistorius stated that Russia's attempts to intimidate and hybrid attacks would not work on Ukraine, Germany, or other partners.
Germany will supply PAC-2 intercept missiles from Bundeswehr stocks to Ukraine, increase deliveries of air-to-air missiles, and finance the purchase of thousands of additional Iris-T missiles. The goal of the aid is to create a shield against Russian air attacks, and Germany will also finance tens of thousands of rounds of long-range artillery ammunition to be procured in cooperation with the UK.
