The German opposition party Christian Social Union has called on its federal government to provide Ukraine with Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems after the announcement of such assistance from the United States of America.. The corresponding statement was made by the leader of the political force Martin Huber, writes Spiegel..

The deputy explained: the course of the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has demonstrated that it is best to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons to ensure their ability to resist the armed aggression of the occupiers.

According to Huber, the German government needs to provide even more assistance to Ukraine with weapons, including providing Patriot missiles..

In addition, he asked the authorities to still send Leopard battle tanks to our defenders..
