Berlin has handed over a new military aid package to Ukraine, the German Ministry of Defense reported on Nov. 13.

The new aid package for Ukraine includes:

10 Leopard 1A5 tanks;

14 Bandvagn 206 vehicles;

five Warthog Ambulance tracked carriers;

one Winsent 1 mine clearing tank;

ten VECTOR reconnaissance drones;

14 GO12 ground surveillance radars;

three border protection vehicles;

four 8×8 HX81 truck tractor trains and four semi-trailers;

Ad

16 Zetros trucks;

13 MAN TGS trucks;

1.4 million rounds of ammunition for firearms.

Earlier, German Ambassador to Ukraine Martin Jaeger said that to protect Ukraine from Russian attacks in the winter of 2023/2024, Ukraine would receive two more IRIS-T systems and thus would have five such systems by the end of the year.

On Nov. 11, German tabloid newspaper Bild reported, citing sources in the German Defense Ministry, that Berlin would double its military aid to Ukraine in 2024, with EUR 8 billion ($8.6 billion) allocated instead of EUR 4 billion ($4.3 billion).

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius called the planned increase in support "a strong signal to Ukraine that we will not abandon them."

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
