Germany has reached an agreement to supply Ukraine with seven 2000 self-propelled armored howitzers, Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht announced on Friday during a visit to Silac, Slovakia.
The artillery system, which resembles a tank, has a reported firing range of up to 40 kilometers, according to the German military. Lambrecht said Germany will also provide training on the armored howitzers to Ukrainian troops.
In recent months, the German government and Chancellor Olaf Scholz have come under pressure from Ukraine and domestic politicians for not doing enough to provide heavy military equipment to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian invasion.
Late last month, Germany agreed to deliver Gepard-tracked anti-aircraft vehicles to Ukraine — a move that highlighted a major shift in its approach to providing military aid to Kiev.
