Germany has stated that it has reached the limit of supplying weapons to Ukraine from its own stockpiles

Germany has reached the limit of its capacity to supply Ukraine with weapons from its own stockpiles.

This was stated by German Defense Ministry spokesperson Michael Stempfle during a briefing in response to a question about the possibility of supplying Ukraine’s armed forces with Patriot air defense systems and similar weaponry.

According to Stempfle, the European Union now needs to focus on strengthening its own defense.

“You know that the Bundeswehr has already transferred similar weaponry to Ukraine. However, a natural limit has now been reached, as under the current conditions, it is necessary to strengthen Europe’s own defense capabilities. In coordination with other countries, we must ensure that each nation is well-equipped,” Stempfle stated.

In a separate analysis, experts examined how long Ukraine could sustain itself without American weapons, after U.S. President Donald Trump halted military aid following his dispute with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Earlier reports indicated that the suspension of Patriot missile deliveries from the U.S. could leave much of Ukraine vulnerable to destruction—similar to Kharkiv, where these systems have not been deployed due to security concerns.
