Quote: "We were assured during direct negotiations that there will be more weapons and more ammunition. We will jointly announce which ones at the appropriate time," he said.
"I don't want to put diplomatic pressure on the German government, but I want Germany to provide what it has as soon as possible. Because we don't have any more time to wait for weapons," the ambassador added.
Details: Makieiev said Ukraine needs more anti-aircraft systems, howitzers, Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and ammunition.
"In addition, we are still talking about the supply of Marder and Leopard tanks. However, the decision on this remains with the German government," the Ukrainian diplomat said.
Background: According to the media, the German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall has received an order for two Skynex anti-aircraft missile systems for Ukraine.
It was reported earlier that during the past week, Ukraine received another 20 Dingo armoured vehicles from Germany, as well as two M1070 Oshkosh tank transporter tractor units.
