Germany is in talks over the approval of the delivery of 400 RPGs to Ukraine by a third country but no decision has been taken, the Defence Ministry said on Saturday, in a major policy shift after Berlin faced criticism for refusing to send weapons to Kyiv, unlike other Western allies, APA reports citing Reuters.

Germany has a long-standing policy of not exporting weapons to war zones, rooted partly in its bloody 20th-century history and resulting pacifism. Countries aiming to onpass German weapons exports need to apply for approval in Berlin first.
