Zelenskyy Expresses Gratitude to Germany for Weapons Support
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his gratitude to Germany for its ongoing supply of weapons and anticipated further deliveries of weapon systems. In a statement, Zelenskyy thanked Germany for its “unwavering support” in the face of Russia’s military aggression. He particularly acknowledged the recent delivery of Gepard anti-aircraft tanks and PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers, which have already proven effective in defending Ukrainian cities. “These weapons are essential for our defense against Russia’s brutal invasion,” Zelenskyy said. “They help us to protect our people, our land, and our freedom.” Zelenskyy also expressed his anticipation for further deliveries of weapon systems from Germany, including IRIS-T air defense systems and Marder infantry fighting vehicles. These systems, he said, would significantly enhance Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian airstrikes and armored offensives. “We are grateful for Germany’s continued commitment to supporting our just cause,” Zelenskyy concluded. “These weapons are a lifeline for Ukraine, and they will make a tangible difference in our fight for freedom.” Germany has been one of Ukraine’s most significant military supporters since Russia’s invasion began in February. The German government has approved billions of euros in military aid and has provided a wide range of weapons and equipment to Ukraine.Selenskyj Expresses Gratitude for Germany’s Weapons Supply, Anticipates Additional Systems
