The artillery systems will be produced in the Slovak Republic who will start delivering the systems to Ukraine in 2023.
The Defence Ministers of Norway, Germany, Denmark and Slovakia condemn Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and the indiscriminate killing of Ukrainian civilians in the strongest way possible. The ministers are committed to long-term military support to Ukraine together with allies and international partners.
Ukraine does not stand alone. The fight of Ukraine is on behalf of all of the international society. On behalf of all of those who believe in the rules based international system and democracy.”
