The official said 400 handheld antitank missiles and 14 armored vehicles would be delivered directly from Germany via Poland. Germany will also donate 10 metric tons of fuel to the Ukrainian armed forces, one official said. Since then, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland and others have joined the U.S. and the U.K. in announcing the shipment of lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine.
“Ukraine must be able to defend itself from the shameless attack by Russia,” Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said in a statement on Saturday. “The country has an inalienable right to self-defense, and the federal government will therefore support it also with urgently needed material.”
