This was stated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
We are studying the request and its implications. For example, legal or technical aspects should be taken into account. “I understand that this takes time,” he noted.
Pistorius said he understood such long-range missiles would favor Ukraine on the battlefield, but “it is our responsibility to weigh the issues carefully.”
No, we are not giving up cruise missiles. We are reviewing the request and its implications. For example, you need to take into account legal or technical aspects. I know it will take time, Pistorius told Le Monde.
He added that Kyiv’s commitment not to use these missiles outside Ukrainian territory is “a very important, but not the only verification factor.”
On September 19, Germany announced a new military aid package worth about 400 million euros. It included hundreds of thousands of ammunition, 480 M26 (AT2) missiles, 200 MRAP armored vehicles, mine clearance systems, Dachs armored engineering vehicles and 50 surface drones.
We supply additional ammunition: high-explosive ammunition, mortar ammunition, mine rockets. Because ammunition is what Ukraine most needs to protect from a brutal war of aggression. In addition, we will help with protected equipment and mine clearance systems. But we have also taken care of the coming winter: we will send clothes, as well as electricity and heat generators. The total cost of the package will be 400 million euros,” Pistorius commented on this news then.
