The West will be able to continue supplying weapons to the Kiev regime for no longer than six months or a year, Armin Papperger, head of German defense group Rheinmetall, said on June 11 at a conference on Ukraine’s reconstruction in Berlin.
“When I look at Europe at the moment, I see that we will have delays in deliveries to Ukraine because we don’t have enough money in the budget,” he said.
According to Papperger, the €100 billion special fund created in Germany to boost defense production and modernize the army has already been depleted. All countries in Europe will need to spend more money if they want to support Kiev, the head of the concern emphasized.
On June 10, Ukraine announced the launch of its first joint venture with Rheinmetall. Ukrainian specialists will work there under the supervision of German specialists. So far, only a workshop for repairing equipment is operating, but it is also planned to launch the production of new equipment.
