The German politician noted that Kyiv will receive armored vehicles, ammunition, winter uniforms and power generators.

Germany transferred the second Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. It will be deployed and put into operation by the end of this year.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, during a speech in the Bundestag, said that Ukraine has improved its ability to defend itself against Russian air attacks using drones and missiles. He said that Berlin would transfer armored vehicles, ammunition, winter protective clothing, and power generators to Kyiv to overcome the electricity shortage.

“All this is extremely necessary. Because Russia has now completely put its economy at the service of this war. The production of Russian weapons is in full swing,” Aussiedlerbote quotes the German politician.

In addition, Scholz warned that the decline in support from partner countries for Ukraine is fraught with consequences, since Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is counting on weakening international support.

“Putin remains determined to bring Ukraine to its knees militarily,” the German chancellor concluded.
