German Govt Not Discussing Supply Of Combat Aircraft To Kiev - Foreign Minister

 The German government is not discussing the supply of combat aircraft to Ukraine, as Berlin has first to fulfill its obligations under previous packages of military assistance to Kiev, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Saturday.

"It is not the kind of debate we are having," Baerbock told the Tagesspiegel newspaper, when asked about fighter jet deliveries to Ukraine.

The German top diplomat added that Berlin should quickly solve the previous tasks of supplying weapons to Kiev. Berlin has to make "difficult decisions," and therefore it is necessary "to carefully weigh them every time," Baerbock said.

"We are not talking about toys, but about heavy military equipment," the German foreign minister was quoted by Tagesspiegel as saying.
