The backing of the Ukrainian air defence, according to German Foreign Minister Analina Perpuk, is currently more crucial than the provision of German battle tanks.
“The significance of air defence was just recently made clear at the start of the week. Fortunately, half of the missile attacks on Kyiv were intercepted, thanks to our supplies of our weapons there,” Berbuk said in comments broadcast on the television channel “Funix” on Sunday.
Because of this, “there will be increased support in the sphere of air defence in particular,” the German foreign minister continued.
On the other hand, Perpuk stated that it believes that the equipment of Ukraine with tanks comes second in terms of importance, and said that “we have the tanks that Ukraine needs urgently through circular exchange across other countries.
The Ukrainian army have advanced in the east, so many Russian tanks are currently being employed, the German minister continued. Because of this, the issue of tanks is not pressing at the moment; instead, the issue of air defence is.
Berbok: At the moment, arming Ukraine with combat tanks is more crucial than supporting its air defence.
