Defense Express reminds that the negotiations between Berlin and Athens regarding the supply of Soviet BMP-1 for the Armed Forces of Ukraine began in early May 2022.

Defense Express emphasizes:

The world stands with Ukraine because we are on the right side of history. The last Rammstein meeting brought together about 50 defence ministers from all across the globe. In compassion, in 1942 during World War II, there were 26 nations that joined the anti-Hitler coalition.

Russia’s war on Ukraine lasts for over 8 years, not just 200 days. Since 2014, Ukraine is defending not only itself, but also the basic principles of the UN Chapter.
