“In Germany, we decided that we could give Ukraine three more Panzerhaubitze 2000. Together with the Netherlands, it will be six,” Lambrecht said.
“It is important that Ukraine can count on us. If they say they need it, we do everything possible to provide it. And in this case, Germany and the Netherlands were able to do that,” said Ollongren.
Earlier, both countries handed over 12 such self-propelled artillery units to Ukraine: seven from Germany and five from the Netherlands. At the same time, German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht acknowledged that Germany has now exhausted all its possibilities to provide Ukraine with the Panzerhaubitze 2000.
On June 21, the German government published a list of weapons being prepared for transfer to Ukraine. In addition to howitzers, Germany plans to supply 10,000 artillery pieces of ammunition to them. On the same day, Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov stated that the first of these weapons had already been in Ukraine.
