The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine called on Germany to supply heavy weapons to Kyiv

“Of course, most of all we need modern weapons,” TASS quoted him as saying.

He noted that Ukraine can use old weapons, but newer ones are more effective.

“That's why we expect (deliveries. -

) both Marders and Leopards,” Stefanchuk concluded.

Earlier, Scholz announced Germany's decision to supply Ukraine with IRIS-T air defense systems.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Kyiv's demands to the West for the supply of multiple launch rocket systems are a direct provocation aimed at drawing other countries into the situation in Ukraine.
