The publication, citing an internal document of the country's Ministry of Defense, reports that the FRG could, within six weeks, bring into combat condition some of the 100 infantry fighting vehicles that Berlin could supply to Kyiv.
The article also says that if the Security Council of the German government approved such a proposal from the Rheinmetal concern, then these combat vehicles could already be delivered to the Ukrainian army.
The newspaper adds that Rheinmetal has been waiting for approval since April 22, but "the federal government is blocking it."
