Germany is giving Ukraine an aid package containing Leopard tanks and Gepard anti-aircraft guns and is preparing to provide another €1.4B in support by the end of the year.

The German government announced a new aid package for Ukraine, which included 22 Leopard tanks, 22 MRAP armored cars, five Bandvagn tracked all-terrain vehicles and one Warthog, three Gepard anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery installations, 61,000 155-mm artillery shells, one million rounds of small arms ammunition, 12 PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers, radar systems, and various types of drones.

The German government plans to supply Ukraine with another arms package worth €1.4B by the end of the year. However, Germany’s €8B budget for Kyiv’s military support has already been largely exhausted. Among the 50 planned items are a package of ammunition for Gepard anti-aircraft guns, 20 more Marder IFVs, and numerous reconnaissance and attack UAVs.

An additional €397M resulted from the Bundeswehr’s energy cost savings. Germany also collected €1B from European and global partners to strengthen Ukrainian air defenses.
