Sharjah24 – AFP: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed Germany's decision Saturday to send weapons to battle Russia's invasion, after a U-turn from Berlin on its policy on sending lethal aid.

"Germany has just announced the provision of anti-tank grenade launchers and stinger missiles to Ukraine. Keep it up, Chancellor Olaf Scholz!" Zelensky tweeted.

Germany's move made it the latest in a string of countries vowing to send arms to Ukraine to help it check the Russian advance.
