The Secret Ukrainian Wishlist: Germany’s Help – How Much and How?
For weeks now, Kyiv has been under fierce Russian attacks with missiles and kamikaze drones. Russian troops are advancing in seven Ukrainian regions, and Ukraine is desperately seeking help. But how much and how is Germany helping? That’s the question German Bild tries to answer – revealing that all aid is shrouded in secrecy.
German Government Silent on Arms Deliveries
Since Friedrich Merz became Germany’s chancellor, the government has stopped publishing information about new arms shipments to Ukraine. Officially, this is to keep Putin in the dark. But critics say the real reason is worse – to hide missed or delayed deliveries that would need public justification.
The Secret List of Ukrainian Needs
Bild got hold of a secret list presented by Ukrainian military planners to the German government. The equipment is worth billions of dollars! The list is divided into three categories: air defense, armored vehicles, and electronic warfare.
Ukraine is asking for four new units of the IRIS-T air defense system, including guided missiles of medium and short range. They also want ammunition for 40mm anti-aircraft guns to suppress Russian drones.
Regarding armored vehicles, Ukraine requests delivery of 1,000 tracked armored personnel carriers, 30 armored mine-clearing vehicles, and 20-30 Wisent engineering vehicles. They also want off-road vehicles for special forces transport.
In electronic warfare, Ukraine demands 1,000 GPS jammers to defend against enemy drones and mobile ground radars for surveillance and targeting.
Germany Silent, Ukraine Keeps It Secret
Military circles confirm the list’s existence, but Germany’s Federal Office of Defense refuses to comment on individual requests, citing military security and new communication lines between governments.
Ukraine also keeps this cooperation secret to avoid alienating its biggest current supporter – Germany.
What Does This Mean?
As Kyiv burns and Russian forces advance, Germany retreats into the shadows, hiding how much and what it really helps with. Is this smart strategy or cowardice? Will Berlin deliver the requested gear, or will Ukraine be left hanging?
This secret list reveals how desperate Ukraine is and how much help it needs – but also how cold and complicated politics are. Billions of dollars worth of equipment sits on paper while Ukraine’s fate is decided quietly in office rooms.
Conclusion
The war in Ukraine is not just fought on the battlefield but also in diplomatic corridors. Germany is a key player, but its silence and secrecy breed suspicion and frustration. As missiles and drones rain down on Kyiv, the question remains: how ready is Germany to truly help?
So, what do you think about this secret aid? Is Germany a true ally or playing a double game? Drop a comment, maybe together we’ll uncover what’s really going on behind closed doors!
