The German government has sent another military aid package to Ukraine to help the country defend itself against Russian aggression.

That's according to the updated list of delivered military equipment to Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

The new package includes ten Leopard 1A5 tanks and 20 MG3 machine guns for Leopard 2 tanks, Marder infantry fighting vehicles and Dachs armored engineer vehicles.

Germany also supplied Ukraine with 1,305 rounds of 155mm ammunition, 2,064 rounds of 155mm smoke ammunition, a bridge system and 12 trailers, four border protection vehicles, ten ground surveillance radars, 16 Zetros trucks, and 100,000 first aid kits.

The German government last winter approved the transfer of 178 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Ukraine.
