Germany to Provide Ukraine with 100,000 More Shells and Four IRIS-T Systems

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announces another military aid package for Ukraine, which will include four IRIS-T air defense systems.

The Gaze reports on this with reference to n-tv and The Guardian.

On the sidelines of the meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine's defense in the Ramstein format in Brussels, Pistorius said that the package would also include 15 Leopard 1 battle tanks, reconnaissance drones and an additional 100,000 artillery rounds.

In addition, Pistorius spoke about the prospects of acquiring new IRIS-T systems in the coming years, as well as the supply of 1,100 additional ground surveillance radars.

The meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine's Defense in the Ramstein format is taking place in Brussels on April 11 under the chairmanship of the United Kingdom and Germany.

The previous meeting, the first since the change in the US administration, was also held in Brussels on February 12 and chaired by the UK.

At that meeting, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the return of Ukraine's borders to pre-2014 levels was not a realistic goal and stated that the US did not consider Ukraine's membership in NATO a possible outcome of a peaceful settlement of the war.

Previous Ramstein meetings under the Joe Biden administration were chaired by the United States.

As The Gaze reported earlier, at the end of March, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, Trade and Climate Protection announced an additional €7.27 million to rebuild Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
