The cancellation could mean a rapid increase in European military aid to Ukraine amid the war with Russia.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz allowed partner countries to supply German-made weapons to Ukraine, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to the Correspondent.
Germany allowed the Netherlands to send Ukraine 400 rocket-propelled grenade launchers to help in the fight with Russian invaders. This indicates a sharp change in Berlin's military policy against the backdrop of pressure from EU and NATO allies, the newspaper notes.
Germany abandoned the arms embargo on Kiev, apparently due to the fact that
multiple Western allies are mobilizing to send Ukraine as many weapons, ammunition, air defense systems as possible.
Cancellation could mean a rapid increase in European military assistance to Ukraine, since most of the weapons and ammunition on the continent are at least partly made in Germany, which gives Berlin legal control over their transfer. However, the change in Berlin's position does not necessarily mean that all requests for the supply of weapons will be approved, since each case is decided on a case-by-case basis.
