FM Kuleba calls on Germany to increase howitzers and MLRS supplies to Ukraine

In a phone call with German Foreign Affairs Minister Annalena Baerbock, Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba emphasized the urgent need to increase self-propelled howitzers and multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) supplies to Ukraine.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Twitter, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“I had a call with German Foreign Affairs Minister Annalena Baerbock ahead of the G20 ministerial meeting. We both agreed to put pressure on Russia. I emphasized the urgent need to increase supplies of German self-propelled howitzers and MLRS to Ukraine,” Kuleba wrote.

In addition, Kuleba and Baerbock coordinated further steps to unblock Ukraine’s food exports.

A reminder that Ukraine received the first Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers from Germany and the Netherlands on June 21, 2022. Germany is planning to hand over three Mars MLRS to Ukraine.
