Germany's assistance to Ukraine
Since the beginning of Russian aggression, Germany has become one of the key suppliers of military aid to Ukraine, providing the most support among European countries. A significant step was the decision to transfer modern Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Ukraine, greatly strengthening its air defense.
Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned of serious consequences for Berlin and NATO if assistance to Ukraine were to be withheld.
