"Germany has received a request from Estonia to approve the supply of howitzers to Ukraine. The request is being studied and is 'under departmental approval,' the secretary of the German Ministry of Defense said on Thursday evening, January 20. The process should be coordinated with Finland," the ezine reported.
It is clarified that the guns that are planned to be transferred to Ukraine were manufactured in Germany, and sold to Finland in the 1990s.
