Der Spiegel wrote about this.
According to the publication, the Alliance confirmed the preparation of the 'winter package' for Ukraine's Armed Forces.
At the end of July, Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov sent a request to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to urgently deliver winter clothing and winter tents for 200,000 Ukrainian soldiers, the publication clarifies.
A few weeks after the request, the US, Canada, Sweden, and Finland agreed to supply winter uniforms to Ukraine's Armed Forces.
According to the NATO headquarters, it is possible to cover about 50% of the needs indicated by Ukraine. Germany also wants to participate in NATO's winter aid to Ukraine, the German Ministry of Defense reports.
"When it comes to winter equipment, such as clothing, materials for field camps, and food, Germany can make an important contribution to supporting Ukraine's defense in winter," Christine Lambrecht said. Details are also likely to be discussed at a meeting of countries supporting Ukraine next Thursday at the US base in Ramstein.
