C-17s carrying weapons for Ukraine flew over Denmark and Poland. Berlin explained
“Not such a proprietary procedure” – the Ministry of National Defense for media proceedings, through Berlin, refused to allow the shipment of weapons from Great Britain to Ukraine via German airspace. Two British C-17 transport planes with defensive military equipment flew longer, bypassing Germany, over Denmark and Poland.
UK Defense Journal reported that Germany was not made consent, by guns from Britain to Ukraine through German airspace.
According to the portal, two C-17 transport machines had to catch up and fly over the North Sea, Denmark and Poland.
Meanwhile the German ministry itself claims that it did not get its new commission from the British to make the space derogation available.
The agency recalls that partners during transport and assistance to Germany must be obliged to use the source space (“diplomatic entitlement”). In this case, London for such an issue no.
Late in the afternoon, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace informed the House of Commons that the UK could benefit from anti-tank defense services, through its defensive capability in the event of a failure, and the number of British handling controls commissioned to operate them.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he saw Moscow ahead of the serious ramifications, economic and negative action on Ukraine. However, he ruled out the supply of weapons from Germany to Ukraine.
