  • 1 LUNA NG reconnaissance system
  • 10 VECTOR reconnaissance drones with spare parts
  • 6 border patrol vehicles
  • 8 Zetros trucks
  • 100,000 first aid kits and medical supplies
  • 70 40-mm automatic grenade launchers

During his visit to Kyiv, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius announced a new military aid package worth €1.3 billion. The package includes, among other things, four additional IRIS-T-SLM air defence systems, as well as 20,000 155-mm artillery rounds and anti-tank weapons.

Pistorius recently rejected accusations that Germany is sending insufficient assistance to Ukraine, which is defending itself against Russia.
