According to FDP defense expert Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Germany has Ukraine more armored howitzers delivered. “More self-propelled howitzers have been delivered, now 24 pieces,” says the chair of the Defense Committee in the Bundestag on the “RTL Direkt” program. In addition, Ukraine would be provided with six to seven anti-aircraft tanks of the “Gepard” type.
When asked whether the Ukrainians also German battle tank “Leopard 2” must be made available, says Strack-Zimmermann: “It would be urgently needed. There is no longer any reason not to do it.” Despite requests from Kiev, the federal government has so far refused to hand over modern Leopard and Marder tanks.
