After German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius’ visit to Kiev, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj expressed gratitude for the new arms package from Germany. With a view to the announced military aid worth 1.3 billion euros, which will include, among other things, new Iris-T SLM anti-aircraft missile systems, Zelensky said in his evening video message on Tuesday: “This will protect our cities and thousands of human lives from Russian terror to be protected.” It is “a new, strong support package from Germany”.
Pistorius had previously announced the new military aid during his visit to Kiev. In addition to the anti-aircraft systems, the package should also include anti-tank mines and NATO caliber 155 millimeter artillery shells.
