Germany pledged another 700 million euros ($771 million) in military assistance to Kyiv on Tuesday at a pivotal NATO summit.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said at the gathering in Vilnius that the new package "served Ukraine's priorities: air defense, tanks, artillery."
Germany in May had already announced a new weapons package worth 2.7 billion euros for Ukraine, ahead of a visit by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The new aid valued at nearly 700 million euros includes two Patriot missile system launchers, another 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles and 25 Leopard 1 tanks as well as 20,000 artillery rounds and 5,000 rounds of smoke ammunition.
