Berlin February 26 2022: Germany has dropped its block on the delivery of German-made lethal weapons to Ukraine via third countries, reported By reporter of BBC.
The move means the Netherlands will be able to send German 400 rocket-propelled grenade launchers to Ukraine.
It marks a major shift in German policy and could allow an increase of European military assistance to Ukraine as many weapons in Europe are at least partly German-manufactured, which means Berlin has a say on their use and export.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has repeatedly referred to this policy in recent weeks when refusing to deliver lethal weapons to Ukraine.
