The second Patriot air defense system with spare parts and missiles from Germany was delivered to Ukraine. Also in the assistance package are all-terrain vehicles, Bandvagn 206 (BV206) military vehicles, Zetros trucks, tankers, semi-trailers, and motor vehicles. More than 7,000 rounds of artillery ammunition and more than 47,000 cartridges were also transferred.

At the same time, a French defense company will deliver 68,000 rounds of high-explosive 155 mm ammunition worth €278M. The Bundestag approved the relevant framework agreement and production and supply of up to 350,000 shells.

Ukraine also received 24 Polish Rak self-propelled mortars and the first batch of new long-range AQ 400 Scythe UAVs.

On December 15, Lithuania handed over a package of military aid containing millions of rounds of ammunition and thousands of shells for anti-tank grenade launchers. The country also repaired the first Leopard 2 tanks damaged at the front and will send them back to Ukraine.

Argentina will transfer two Mi-171E helicopters, and the Netherlands has provided Ukraine with €550M in military aid over the past two months.
