Germany sends seven howitzers to Ukraine

After a long national debate on sending heavy weapons to Ukraine, German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht announced Friday that Berlin would send seven PzH 2000 howitzers to combat Russian troops.

According to Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, one of the companies manufacturing the howitzers, the PzH 2000 is “the most powerful tube artillery system in the world.”

“With this we are adding to the five Dutch self-propelled howitzers to reach a total of twelve,” Lambrecht’s ministry said in a tweet, adding that “howitzer training in Germany has been prepared and will begin next week.”

Friday’s announcement came a week after the German parliament voted to send “heavy weapons” to Ukraine following weeks of intense debate in Germany on whether that would be a step too far, escalating the war Russian President Vladimir Putin started in February.

During a press conference Thursday, the chancellor dismissed the idea that the war would be over quickly.

“The unbelievable military commitment that Russia is showing [in eastern Ukraine] does not give rise to any hope that it will all come to an end anytime soon,” he said.
