The German parliament is proposing to appoint a special coordinator of military assistance to Ukraine.
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, chairman of the Bundestag's defense committee, has criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his government for delaying the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine. Earlier, Ambassador of Ukraine Andriy Melnyk said that it seems that Scholz does not want to supply Ukraine with heavy weapons.
“You have been waiting for a long time – everything could have been delivered,” said Strack-Zimmermann on the air of the German public broadcaster ZDF .
< p> She says that the self-propelled howitzers and anti-aircraft guns Gepard promised to Ukraine by Germany are only being prepared for use on the battlefield. No ammunition has yet been found for Gepard, which is no longer produced. The installations themselves have already been written off.
She says that although the search for or resumption of production of these munitions is a long process, she reminded that the Russian invasion to Ukraine has been going on for almost three months. He says everything could be fixed in four weeks.
Strack-Zimmerman supported the appointment of a special coordinator for military assistance to Ukraine. The head of the Bundestag's defense committee says the arms supply is coordinated by Scholz's office, where the chancellor is advised by German Army Inspector General Eberhard Zorn.
