Ukraine’s Ambassador Andriy Melnyk proposes that Germany adopt a lend-lease law for Ukraine, following the example of the United States.
“We want to see the rapid export of 88 Leopard tanks, 100 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers and more. But what is very important is to rethink the minds of the people. We are experiencing the biggest war in the world. “Europe. For 80 years. You can no longer win 30 or 100 tanks. A German lending law like the US and a long -term alliance against Russia would be important,” Melnik said in an interview. in Bild am Sonntag.
He noted that the decision to send ZSU Gepard to Ukraine was right, but it was not enough.
“Moreover, there is not enough ammunition for the Cheetahs. It has been known since the beginning of the war, but the federal Ministry of Defense only picked it up this week. In addition, the Cheetahs are 40 years old – so to defeat Russia, we need the most modern German weapons, ”he stressed.
