With the slightly modified hit "Supergeil", the Ukrainian military is asking for Leopard main battle tanks from Germany.

Photos of the anti-aircraft weapons Gepard and Iris-T, which had already been delivered, were edited into the video clip by artist Friedrich Liechtenstein – dubbed “Super Gepard” and “Super Iris”.

So you already have a "Super Defense" (super defense), they say.

But then scenes from "Super Leopard" are used - combined with a "Super Please".

At the end it says "Thank you Germany".

The video was published by the Ministry of Defense on Twitter.

The song "Supergeil" by Liechtenstein became known in 2014 through an advertising campaign by the supermarket chain Edeka.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense published the adapted version on Twitter, according to information from "tagesschau.de" without Liechtenstein's knowledge.

His PR company is still checking whether action should be taken against its use.

Ukraine relies on humorous memes - despite the war

The federal government has so far refused to supply Leopard battle tanks and Marder infantry fighting vehicles, pointing out that no other partner in Ukraine has such modern Western tanks.

The country attacked by Russia hopes for tanks of these types to be able to liberate occupied areas more easily.

In order to gain international attention and help, the Ukrainian leadership relies heavily on social media.

Despite the seriousness of the war, the memes and video snippets are often humorous.

Zelenska: "Russia puts technology at the service of terror"

However, the wife of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy finds serious and urgent words this week.

Olena Zelenska accuses Russia of using modern technologies to spread terror.

"Russia uses such technologies -- drones, cyber espionage and cyber attacks on critical infrastructure -- to spread terror," Selenska told an audience of thousands at the annual Web Summit technology conference in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.

She asked the participants to use their knowledge and skills to support Ukraine.

Regarding videos of the damage that the Russian airstrikes have caused in Ukraine, including with drones, Zelenska said that the lights, electricity and the internet go out in her country every day.

"Russia is putting technology at the service of terror," she lamented.

The appearance of the Ukrainian President's wife at the conference was kept secret until the end for security reasons.
