UCRÂNIA
Relatório de situação da guerra na Ucrânia – dia 119
June 22, 2022 - Chegaram à Ucrânia os obuses com auto-propulsão alemães na primeira entrega das armas pesadas prometidas por Berlim, quando as forças ucranianas e russas estão entrincheiradas nos campos de batalha do leste da Ucrânia.
The Panzerhaubitze 2000 is one of the most powerful artillery weapons in Bundeswehr inventories and can hit targets at a distance of 40km.
Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine's president's office, posted a list of other weapons promised by Germany, including 30 Gepard tanks and three MARS II multiple rocket launchers, as well as 500 shoulder-fired Stinger missiles.
Fighting in the months-long war has favoured Russia in recent weeks because of its huge edge in artillery firepower, a fact Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy acknowledged in a late Tuesday address, Reuters reports.
