This is stated on the Bundestag website.

"Germany provides support for Ukraine by supplying equipment and weapons, these come from supplies of the Federal Arms Forces and from deliveries from industry financed from the Federal Government’s funds for security capacity building," the statement said.

The aid package includes

  • 4 8x8 HX81 truck tractors trains and semi-trailers;
  • 3 vehicles (trucks, minibuses, all-terrain vehicles)
  • 2 vehicles for the Border Guard Service;
  • 5 drone detection systems;
  • mobile antenna and mast system;
  • 3,840 pieces of artillery ammunition;
  • 25 laser rangefinders;
  • 15 HLR 338 sniper rifles and 60,000 rounds of ammunition.

Germany's economy is in crisis after a court cancelled billions of dollars in funding for clean energy projects and aid to companies and consumers facing high utility bills due to Russia's war in Ukraine.

  • On November 27, media reported that Germany would provide Ukrenergo with €300 million to repair and modernize its power grid.
