Germany has not sent promised large arms to Ukraine, leaked documents show

German broadsheet Welt says it has seen official papers that show Germany has not supplied any significant weapons to Ukraine for weeks

Germany has failed to provide any heavy weapons to Ukrainian forces in recent weeks and appears to be scaling back its military support in a break from Western policy, leaked documents have revealed.

German broadsheet Welt said it had seen official papers that showed Germany had not supplied any significant weapons to Ukraine since the end of March, despite vowing to grant its forces the weapons they need to repulse the Russian army.

In the nine weeks since the end of March Germany has made just two deliveries to Ukraine consisting of small arms.

In contrast with Western allies who are sending huge quantities of anti-tank and air defence weaponry such as NLAW launchers, as well as artillery, Germany has provided around 4,600 anti-tank mines.
