Anton Hofreiter, chairman of the Europe Committee in the German Bundestag, has called for more heavy weapons to be supplied to Ukraine from Bundeswehr stocks.

The Greens politician said this in ntv's Frühstart program, Ukrinform reports.

Hofreiter said he is firmly convinced that further arms deliveries to Ukraine could lead to a faster end to the war. In view of this, the Bundeswehr could be weakened in the short term.

"It's not a catastrophe for the Bundeswehr if they get their weapons replaced next year or the year after," he said, adding that Ukraine needs weapons "immediately", "including armored personnel carriers and battle tanks."

Asked how long the conflict could last, Hofreiter said: "I am firmly convinced that the more weapons we deliver, the faster the conflict will end, because the higher the costs for Putin and his regime."
