Допомога Україні від Німеччини

Germany has been one of the countries providing military, political, and financial support to Ukraine, offering various types of artillery, Leopard tanks of older and newer modifications, IRIS-T and Patriot air defense systems, ammunition, vehicles, drones, and other types of weaponry. 

The German government previously announced a €200 million package to Ukraine, which will go towards the country's reconstruction.

Another Patriot air defense system will be delivered to Ukraine from Germany soon, adding to the two existing divisions currently on active duty.
