This was reported by DW.

The visit of the high-ranking German official was kept secret for security reasons. While in Odesa, Pistorius announced a new military aid package, which includes medium-range and short-range missiles for IRIS-T air defense systems, reconnaissance and strike drones for operations in the Black Sea region, equipment for repairing German artillery and Leopard tanks previously transferred to Ukraine.

Some of the German aid is ready for shipment to Ukraine. However, the delivery of 18 wheeled howitzers of a new design will start in 2025. Germany will also fund training courses for Ukrainian technicians, Pistorius assured.

“We will continue to support you in your defense efforts,” Pistorius emphasized during a meeting with Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

On May 24, Germany announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. It includes tanks, armored vehicles, bridge builders, trucks, drones, and ammunition.
