Germany still has not provided Ukraine with modern tanks, but continues to send other types of weapons, including, in particular, self-propelled howitzers.

Quote: "More self-propelled howitzers have been transferred to Ukraine. We are talking about 24 units. Six or seven Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns will also be provided."

Details: The representative of the Bundestag noted that she personally advocates transferring modern Leopard and Marder tanks to Ukraine, but the government still has not supported this initiative.

According to Strack-Zimmerman, providing them now is really necessary and she no longer "sees any reason not to do it."

Background: Germany has given Ukraine new commitments to supply weapons to counter the full-scale Russian invasion.
