Germany will provide Ukraine with a record €2.7B in military aid. 

According to the German Ministry of Defense, this is the largest single package of weapons Germany has provided to strengthen the Ukrainian armed forces since the beginning of the war. The head of the department, Boris Pistorius, said that Germany will continue to provide necessary assistance to Ukraine for as long as it is needed.

The package includes 18 wheeled howitzers, artillery ammunition, guided missiles for air defense systems, 4 IRIS-T SLM anti-aircraft missile launchers for air defense, and 12 IRIS-T SLS launchers. The package also includes 30 Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks and 20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, more than 100 armored combat vehicles, and more than 200 reconnaissance drones. The new package will double German arms aid to Ukraine since the start of the war in February 2022: since then, the federal government had previously approved €2.75B worth of weapons.
