Laschet: Germany has no additional resources to supply air defence systems to Ukraine

Germany does not have the capacity to further supply air defence systems to Ukraine. This was stated by Armin Laschet, head of the Bundestag's foreign affairs committee, according to a report in Berliner Zeitung.

Exhaustion of resources

Commenting on questions regarding what further assistance the Bundeswehr or the German defence industry could provide to prepare Ukraine's air defence for the winter period, Laschet emphasised the limitations of Berlin's capabilities.

«Ми зробили все можливе… На мою думку, місця для маневру немає» ("We have done everything possible… In my opinion, there is no room for manoeuvre"), the politician stated, as quoted by Berliner Zeitung.

In his assessment, Germany has already transferred to Ukraine everything within its power, and the government lacks additional resources that could be deployed quickly.

Appeal to diplomacy and partners

Laschet also called for intensified diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and a focus on de-escalation. He emphasised that Germany's resources are limited.

At the same time, the politician noted the critical importance of maintaining US support for Ukraine, specifically access to the Starlink satellite service and intelligence data.
