Germany has reduced the supply of weapons to Ukraine – media

Since March 30, Berlin has transferred to Ukraine only two groups of weapons, consisting of mines and spare parts for machine guns.

German authorities in recent weeks have reduced military assistance to Ukraine. In the past two months, only two batches of weapons have been transferred. About it on Saturday, May 28, Welt.

It was noted that in the period from March 30 to May 26, Germany transferred to Ukraine only two groups of weapons from the federal government. In particular, 3,000 anti-tank mines and another 1,600 specialized directional anti-tank mines were delivered in mid-May.

“The main problem facing the Ukrainian army right now is the superiority of Russia’s firepower in the east of the country. Mines can help with this,” Welt said.

According to the publication, delivery in April included spare parts for machine guns, detonating cords, radios, hand grenades, explosives and mine. According to the Ukrainian side, the last delivery of anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons took place on March 25, more than two months ago. These include 2,000 Panzerfaust 3 missiles and 1,500 Strela anti-aircraft missiles.

However, according to the Ukrainian list on March 29, the demand for ammunition still remains. In addition, in addition to the Stinger anti-aircraft missile system and anti-tank weapons, the Ukrainian army also needs Harpoon-type anti-ship missiles.

It was previously reported that the German government had been blocking Rheinmetall’s application for the supply of 100 Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine for more than a month.

Also, Polish President Andrzej Duda accused the German government of not fulfilling its word to provide tanks to Poland to replace those sent by Warsaw to Ukraine.
