Germany provides Ukraine with a short-term military aid package worth €100 million.
The German Ministry of Defense announced this.
The package includes ammunition for drones, trucks, and spare parts for various weapons.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced the new aid package during the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in the Ramstein format on February 14.
The Minister noted that the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, General Carsten Breuer, met with the new Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, in Kyiv during his visit to Ukraine last week. He promised short-term assistance worth more than €100 million.
The package includes, among other things, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Armored Vehicles, ammunition for small drones, 77 trucks, medical equipment, and spare parts for various weapons systems.
These weapons have already been delivered or will be delivered to Armed Forces of Ukraine in the near future. According to the minister, supplies and repairs in the third year of the war will become even more important than before, the German Defense Ministry said in a press release.
Boris Pistorius emphasized that Germany supplied military aid to Ukraine almost daily.
According to him, the Ukrainian military recently received missiles for the IRIS-T SLS air defense system, 155mm artillery ammunition, six mine clearance vehicles, a bridge-laying tank and an engineering vehicle, as well as protected vehicles and reconnaissance drones.
In addition, Germany will improve Ukraine’s ability to repair military equipment. For this purpose, German industry will build the first repair facilities in Ukraine by the summer of this year.
At the beginning of this month, Rheinmetall announced that it was planning to send tens of thousands of various caliber shells and military equipment to Ukraine. The company intends to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with medium and large caliber ammunition, in particular 20mm for the Marder IFV, 40mm and 105mm for the Leopard 1, and 120mm for the Leopard 2 tanks.
This ammunition was ordered by the German government as part of its military aid to Ukraine.
