Until Russia’s military attack on Ukraine, Berlin ruled out supplying arms to Kyiv, and also turned down requests from allies to send their German-made weapons to the country. As Russia’s biggest gas customer, Germany had tried to keep Nord Stream 2 out of global politics. The recent decisions marked a dramatic shift in the government’s policy, and came after growing criticism from Ukraine and Germany’s NATO allies. A spokesman confirmed that the government also approved Estonia’s request to transfer nine D30 howitzers to the Ukrainian Army. Earlier in the day, Berlin also approved the Netherlands’ request to send 50 Panzerfaust 3 anti-tank weapons and 400 rockets to Ukraine. The weapons from the German Army’s stocks will be delivered to Ukraine as soon as possible, a government spokesman announced on Saturday. Germany will supply Ukraine 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 anti-aircraft Stinger missiles.
