Germany's half-hearted help in anti-aircraft defense

Just a few weeks ago, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was campaigning for the delivery of tanks. Now she said in an interview with the broadcaster Phoenix that Kyiv has enough equipment due to the exchange of rings and the capture of Russian tanks. "That's why the tank question is not so pressing at the moment, but above all the air defense question."

Protecting its own population from aerial threats has been a top priority for Kyiv since the beginning of the war. In fact, anti-aircraft weapons were part of the first delivery package. However, a look at the past eight months shows that assistance in this area is not one of the federal government's priorities.
