Help from Germany
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Germany has provided Ukraine with various types of weapons, including PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers, Marder BMPs, Gepard anti-aircraft guns, air defense systems, MLRS, and Leopard tanks.
In March 2023, Chancellor Olaf Scholz declared that Germany would increase ammunition production and weapons repair capacity to further support Ukraine.
According to the German government, for 2022 Germany provided arms to Ukraine worth €2 billion, and in 2023 it planned to provide equipment and ammunition worth €5.4 billion. Already by 2024, Germany intends to increase military aid to Ukraine to €8 billion, it was reported by “Bloomberg” agency with reference to the source.
