Countries seeking to outsource German arms exports must first apply for approval in Berlin.
Germany has approved the delivery to Ukraine of several dozen infantry fighting vehicles formerly owned by the former communist GDR. This was reported by Reuters.
It was noted that the decision was made against the backdrop of the criticism that Berlin was not sending enough military aid to Kiev.
“Berlin has given the go-ahead for the transfer of 56 PbV-501 type vehicles to Kiev by a Czech company,” said a spokesman for the Defense Ministry.
The agency wrote that he was responding to requests for confirmation of a media report that 58 vehicles armed with cannons and machine guns would be delivered to Ukraine.
Also, according to the newspaper Welt am Sonntag, in the late 1990s, Berlin provided BMP to Sweden. The latter sold them to a Czech company, which now plans to sell them in Ukraine.
That said, countries seeking to outsource German arms exports must first apply for approval in Berlin.
Recall that in early March, weapons from Germany arrived in Ukraine. In particular, 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.
