Ukrainian Embassy In Berlin Requests German Battle Tanks, Warships

The Ukrainian embassy in Berlin has asked the German government for further weapons’ deliveries to help fend off the Russian invasion.

Since the conflict began, the government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz reversed years of highly restrictive arms export policies and allowed direct weapons deliveries to Ukraine to help fight back Russian forces.

Berlin has already sent 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger surface-to-air missiles from Bundeswehr stocks.

The embassy’s requests are listed in what is known as a note verbale from to the chancellery, foreign office and defence ministry, which dpa has obtained.
