The German Social Democrats party supports heavy weapon supplies for Ukraine.

 German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition government will continue to send heavy weaponry to Ukraine to help it in its fight against Russia’s invasion. Lars Klingbeil, the co-leader of Scholz’s ruling Social Democrats, told reporters in Berlin that his party is backing the chancellor’s course without limit, including Scholz’s latest decision, in tandem with the US, to supply Ukraine with armored infantry fighting vehicles and an additional Patriot air-defense system. Scholz has won praise from his domestic allies for pledging to send 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles. But, according to Bloomberg, some of his coalition partners have called on him to go further by giving Ukraine NATO-grade Leopard 2 battle tanks.
