Ruling German coalition agrees to supply heavy weapons to Kiev

The ruling German coalition (the Social Democratic Party, the Greens and the Free Democratic Party, FDP) agreed to deliver heavy weapons to Ukraine, the FDP’s defense expert Marcus Faber wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.

"Germany will now quickly deliver heavy weapons to Ukraine. I am glad that we, the FDP’s faction, managed to convince our coalition partners," he wrote.

Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (the Greens) stressed that Kiev needs heavy weapons and now is not the time to come up with excuses in this matter. However, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (the Social Democratic Party of Germany) has been postponing making this decision despite the growing pressure on the part of his coalition partners and foreign allies.
