Earlier in Germany it was reported that Ukraine would be provided with more one Patriot air defense system due to the threat of attacks from Russia on infrastructure facilities. The German Chancellor spoke about when our state will be able to receive a second air defense system.

Olaf Scholz made a new statement regarding the EU summit, which will take place on the 14th December. He also said that the second Patriot system, which Germany promised to transfer to Kyiv, will work in Ukraine this year.

Air defense for Ukraine

Scholz noted that Ukraine's ability to defend itself against a large number of Russian drones and missiles has improved , and also added that in 2023, the second Patriot air defense system, provided by Germany, will be deployed in Ukraine.

All this is extremely necessary , since Russia has now completely placed its economy at the service of this war. Russian weapons production is operating at full capacity, the German Chancellor emphasized.

At the same time, armored vehicles, ammunition and winter protective clothing will be provided for the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as electric generators for overcoming the electricity shortage.

In addition, Scholz warned of the negative consequences of reduced support for Ukraine in its defense against a Russian attack. He stressed that Putin remains determined to bring Ukraine to its knees through military means.

According to the German Chancellor, the Russian president expects that international support for Ukraine will decline. Scholz also noted how US President Joe Biden is fighting in his country for funding to support Ukraine.

Aid from Germany will not be reduced

At the same time, the German government coalition presented details of an agreement on the country's adopted budget for 2024 after a month of intense negotiations, which, in particular, provides for continued support for Ukraine.

German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said that in 2024 Berlin plans to provide direct bilateral assistance to Kyiv in the amount of 8 billion euros. He promised that Germany will continue to bear responsibility for supporting Ukraine.
