"That is why we are sending 1000 units of anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger missiles to our friends in Ukraine," - added the Head of German Government.
Der russische Überfall markiert eine Zeitenwende. Es ist unsere Pflicht, die Ukraine nach Kräften zu unterstützen bei der Verteidigung gegen die Invasionsarmee von #Putin. Deshalb liefern wir 1000 Panzerabwehrwaffen und 500 Stinger-Raketen an unsere Freunde in der #Ukraine.

Let us remind you that Germany allowed the Netherlands to send to Ukraine 400 reactive volley fire systems to be used to fight Russian invaders. This fact can mean that the quantity of military aid for Ukraine will be increased quickly, as the sufficient part of weapon and ammunition on the continent is at least partially made by Germany what gives Berlin a legal right to control their transfer.
At the same time the change of Berlin's position does not necessary mean that all the requests for weapon supply will be approved as each case is taken into consideration separately.
Today it is also became known that Germany will provide Ukraine with 5 thousand of protective helmets.
Earlier Germany was refusing to supply Kyiv with weapon and was blocking weapon supplies from other countries.
