A subsidiary of the defense concern Rheinmetall sent a request to the German federal government for permission to supply 100 Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.

Welt am Sonntag writes about this.

Supply of infantry fighting vehicles

As noted, the request was received by the Ministry of Economy and was immediately transferred to the Federal Security Council. The publication writes that in the coming days, Chancellor Olaf Scholz will have to decide whether the government is ready for a direct supply of heavy weapons from Germany to Ukraine. So, this is the first such application since the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

At the same time, Rheinmetall is ready to sell BMPs to Ukraine “as soon as possible”, and the first batch can be delivered to Ukraine “within a few weeks.”

In addition, it is reported that the deal is ready – only the approval of the federal government remains.

Recall that following a telephone conversation with Western leaders, including US President Joseph Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that his country was ready to continue to support Ukraine militarily and financially.
