Scholz pledges arms supplies from German industry to Ukraine

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has promised Ukraine to finance direct arms deliveries from German industry. There are three ways to support Ukraine militarily. Because the limited stocks of the Bundeswehr did not allow for a large delivery of further military material, industry and the Ukrainian government had met to see what companies could supply. “Ukraine has now taken a selection from that list, and we are providing it with the money it needs to buy it.” As before, this includes anti-tank weapons, air defense equipment, ammunition “and also what can be used in an artillery engagement.”
