Recently, it became known that Germany will supply Ukraine with 20 more Marder infantry fighting vehicles. Additional Marders are planned to be delivered this year.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the reason for Germany's refusal to provide Taurus could be a desire to keep them for its own defence.
