German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock has denied the ban on supplies of heavy weapons to Ukraine. The head of the Foreign Ministry explained that the Bundeswehr cannot give away everything. This was reported by HNA.
"There is no taboo for us with regard to armored vehicles and other weapons that Ukraine needs," the newspaper quotes Berbock's answer to a question about the supply of German tanks to Ukraine.
The foreign minister clarified that Germany cannot supply everything because the Bundeswehr does not have everything Ukraine needs. She added that Berlin is ready to do its part and provide financial support.
"We are allocating one billion euros because we have to think not only about the next days and months, but also about the next years for the systems that Ukraine needs for defense now," Berbock said, adding that today "every day counts."
According to her, training for the Ukrainian military on German military equipment will begin in the coming days. She added that Germany is trying to give Ukraine what it can.
We would like to add that the day before, the Bild newspaper quoted its sources as saying that at the insistence of the German government, the Bundeswehr had removed all heavy weapons from the list of military assistance to Ukraine.
After this, a scandal erupted in Germany and there were statements about a possible resignation of the country's chancellor Olaf Scholz.
