Germany to deliver 6 PzH 2000 artillery guns to Ukraine within 2 months — Pistorius

Germany will deliver six Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled artillery units to Ukraine, out of the 12 that were pledged, within the next two months, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said, reported from TASS.

"Six of them, I think, will be delivered as soon as within the next eight weeks," he was quoted as saying by the DPA news agency.

Pistorius announced a plan to transfer 12 such howitzers to Kyiv on the sidelines of a meeting of the contact group for military assistance to Ukraine on September 6.

Germany, the second largest arms supplier to Ukraine after the US, has committed a total of about 28 billion euros in past and future spending on military support to Kyiv.

In the 2025 budget proposal, the country allocated 4 billion euros for the support, half the amount it spent this year.
