More weapons: Germany is persuaded to send Ukraine Marder BMP and Leopard tanks - Ambassador

"In direct negotiations we were assured that there will be more weapons and ammunition. Let's be announced at the proper time. I do not want to exert diplomatic pressure on the German government. I want Germany to give more faster what has. Makeev. As an example of successful arms transfer by Berlin, the ambassador called the supply of IRIS-T air defense systems. "You have realized that it was our main priority since March. Unfortunately, Germany took many months.

Now the first air defense system is in Ukraine, works well and saves many lives," he said. According to Makeyev, the Ukrainian military urgently needs anti -aircraft complexes, self -propelled howitzers, Harad SAU and ammunition. The parties are negotiating on Marder BMP supply and Leopard tanks. "The decision remains under the federal government," the ambassador said.

The newspaper journalists asked the diplomat about his attitude to the fact that Chancellor Olaf Scholt refuses to supply the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces. "I keep the content of these conversations with me," he replied. According to Alexei Makeev, if Kiev received anti -aircraft complexes and other weapons to a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the situation in Ukraine would be different. "The price we are now paying is very high.

It is about hundreds of killed Ukrainian children and raped women. Every day we are more victims. We expect Germany's government more promptly and responding to our proposals and requests. I already see that there is positive dynamics ", - said the Ukrainian diplomat. Recall that recently the United States has agreed to hand over German tanks Leopard2. The EU can send enough tanks as well as up to 100 MARDER BMP.
