Ukraine marks six months since Russian invasion | DW News



Germany is prepared to ship in 2023 more than €500 million ($499.3 million) in weapons to help Ukraine fend off the ongoing Russian invasion, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced.

Among other things, Germany will send to Ukraine three more Iris-T air defense systems, a dozen armored recovery vehicles, 20 pickup mounted rocket launchers, precision ammunition and anti-drone devices, a government spokesman said on Tuesday during the chancellor’s trip to Canada.

The United States is expected to announce as early as on Wednesday a new security assistance package for Ukraine of about $3 billion (€3 billion), a US official said on Tuesday.

This weapons assistance package would be the largest such assistance package that Washington has generated for Ukraine in the six months since Russian troops invaded the country in February.

Officials in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, have banned public celebrations commemorating independence from Soviet rule, citing a raised threat of Russian attack in the war.

The decision comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Moscow could try “something particularly ugly” ahead of the day.

  1. And don't think for a moment that the weakness Putin saw all over EU nations didn't contributed to him attacking Ukraine as well; Trump tried to tell you all that something like this could happen and EU & USA liberals attacked him for it; Sad it took a war, so much pain and deaths to wake these weaklings up!

  4. 16:09 it is a paradigm for Germany to deliver weapons to fight Russia, meanwhile trying to secure the gas flor from the same country that their weapons is used against. It is almost the German leadership is suffering from a severe case of bipolar disorder.
