The German government has announced a substantial new military aid package for Kyiv, featuring a variety of equipment, including tanks, air defense systems, drones, and ammunition, designed to enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
The package is headlined by the delivery of 22 Leopard 1A5 tanks and 3 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. These heavy weapons are complemented by a variety of other military equipment and vehicles.
On 17 September 2024, it was announced that Germany would allocate an additional 100 million euros to Ukraine to help the country through the coming winter.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has expressed hope for the allocation of additional funds for weapons deliveries to Ukraine. Negotiations are underway to increase the 2024 budget from 7.5 billion euros, with Pistorius stating, “Then we are talking about a significant amount in the hundreds of millions of euros.”
