Germany’s defense minister said six military helicopters and their parts will be given to Ukraine. Germany will also train the Ukrainian army to fly this helicopter. But Ukraine wants missiles. He is also negotiating for that.
But their request was rejected by the German parliament last week.
Germany’s defense minister said six Sea King Mk 41 multipurpose helicopters will be given to Ukraine. He said, Sea King is a very powerful helicopter, it will benefit Ukraine in many places. They can also send troops to the Black Sea if necessary. This is the first such helicopter from Germany.
These decade-old helicopters are now mainly used for rescue operations at sea. The new NH-90 Sea Lion helicopter is now in Germany’s hands. This new helicopter will replace the Sea King.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Kuleba said they don’t need missiles to attack Russian territory. “We don’t need these missiles to attack Moscow,” Kuleba said. Ukraine needs these missiles to attack Russian-held infrastructure in Ukraine. ‘
German chancellor Schultz has so far refused to hand over the missile. Germany fears that if Ukraine is given missiles, Russia will increase the intensity of its attack. The opposition in parliament demanded the missiles be given to Ukraine. But the Shalts-led coalition rejected that request last week.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has long sought heavy weapons, including tanks, from Western allies including the United States to counter Russia on the battlefield. In response to his request, some European countries including UK, Poland, Finland have already agreed to give tanks to Ukraine.
