Ukraine can expect to receive ammunition for Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, donated by Germany, from August this year.

According to DW, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this during a public dialogue in the town of Bendorf.

According to him, production is now being set up, but this will take some time.

Scholz said that Ukraine cannot use weapons supplied by Germany to attack Russian territory.

“These rules are followed by other Western countries that supply Ukraine with weapons to counter the Russian attack, the chancellor explained and added that everything should be done with all the necessary help to prevent a war between Russia and NATO,” the report reads.
