Quote: "Russia's attack on Ukraine has fundamentally changed the security policy framework. It has forced the purchase of additional ammunition for both the German and Ukrainian armed forces.
Ukraine is fighting for its independence with Panzerhaubitze 2000 and Leopard 2 battle tanks. The needs for 155-mm artillery shells for the howitzer and 120-mm shells for the battle tank are met with the help of Germany."
Details: It is reported that since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukraine has received significant amounts of ammunition from Bundeswehr storage points.
It is noted that every Bundeswehr procurement project worth more than €25 million must be approved by the German Parliament's budget committee before a contract is signed.
