      You do realize this is a list, that the list has other items, and that this isn’t the first or last package Germany sent?

        The problem of course, is that it simply isn’t enough.

        Germany may be doing more than others, in fact doing much more, but that’s not enough for Ukraine to win.

          I like to think that they always hide something big behind those packages, specially when the package looks like a big meh

        I do. I do not understand why this tiny delivery bears mentioning compared to all the other, much larger deliveries.

        And I want to highlight how little all the billions of aid will mean if the West now just stops delivering, simply because the public is bored of the war. War is expensive, but sometimes there’s no alternative. And cynical at it may be, supporting a proxy to fight for you on their ground is still hell of a lot cheaper than your own people dying on your soil.
