Ukraine criticises Germany for weapons supplies

He said Berlin has offered only <x0judifications and abstract fears” for the non-relation of such military equipment.

“Disillusionable signals from Germany, while Ukraine needs Leopards and Marders now to free people and rescue them from genocide”, Kuleba wrote on Twitter.

No single rational argument why we can't be supplied with these weapons, just abstract fears and excuses. What's Berlin afraid of that Kiev doesn't have?

Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on February 24th.

Since then, the German government has supplied Kiev with military equipment and ammunition and tanks, but not even fighter planes that Ukraine has requested.

Berlin has cited its history in wars as a reason for careful action when it comes to providing Kiev with heavy weapons.

Ukraine has launched a counter-offensive to regain territory in the east and south of the Russian invading forces.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on September 12th that the Ukrainian Army has returned Six hundred miles [6,000 km] Square territory occupied by Russian forces, since the launch of the counteroffensive in early September.

He called on the West to impose more sanctions on Russia and to speed up arms shipments to allow Ukrainian troops to consolidate control over restored territory.
