Germany updated the list of military aid it has provided to Ukraine on March 28.
In particular, they added ammunition for Leopard tanks and other combat systems, as well as reconnaissance drones.
In addition, Germany announced that it has plans to provide Ukraine with 20 Marder armored personnel carriers, one Warthog all-terrain vehicle, 70 infrared cameras, and more missiles for the Patriot air defense system.
Since the beginning of Russian invasion, Germany provided Ukraine with material and technical assistance worth about $5.65 billion.
In addition, more than 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have undergone training in Germany, which has cost Germany an additional $306.5 million. Other expenses were also spent on treatment of wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
Earlier, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius
announced a new military aid package worth $543 million to Ukraine. He added
that Germany would also send 10,000 artillery shells from Bundeswehr warehouses to
Ukraine in the near future. It was noted that the new aid package would
also include one hundred armored infantry vehicles and one hundred other
vehicles.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
