German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who not only refused to supply Ukraine with weapons but also for weeks banned NATO and EU members from supplying German-made weapons to Kyiv, is reconsidering his position.

That's according to the German news site Bild, Ukrinform reports.

Citing government circles, the report claims that the federal government has allowed the Netherlands to hand over 400 Panzerfaust rocket-propelled grenade launchers to the Ukrainian military, which it supplied to the Netherlands in the past.

Berlin also gave Estonia permission to supply old GDR-era armored howitzers to Ukraine.

If any country wants to export German-made weapons to third countries, it must get the green light from Germany.

With regard to arms supplies from Germany, the government's position remains unchanged.

However, according to the tabloid, Germany wants to supply 14 armored vehicles and 10,000 tonnes of fuel to Ukraine.

Earlier reports said that Ukraine had provided Germany with a list of necessary weapons and equipment. However, only 5,000 helmets have been provided to the Ukrainian side so far, which have not been delivered to the country for a long time.
