“There is no new state of affairs to report on this issue,” Scholz told the German newspaper the Thüringer Allgemeine in a story published on Friday.
“Our focus remains on sending weapons for air defence, heavy artillery and also tanks,” he said.
“That is the course we will continue on, in close consultation with our international partners.”
Various politicians from inside and outside the ruling coalition government have recently discussed sending the weapons, which can destroy bunkers and protected command posts at a distance of up to 500 kilometres. The Defence Ministry, however, also made it clear when asked that there has been no policy change.
