- Germany had said it would provide military support to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia.
- But it has only sent two deliveries of light weapons since March, Welt am Sonntag reported.
- Putin last week warned Germany against sending arms to Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Germany last week not to provide Ukraine with further military support — at a time when Germany appears to already have been doing just that.
The country has only sent two deliveries of weapons since March, according to documents obtained by the German publication Welt am Sonntag. Welt shares a parent company, Axel Springer, with Insider.
The German government reduced its military support over the past few weeks, only making two arms deliveries to Ukraine between March 30 and May 26, the documents show.
Both of shipments included small arms such as anti-tank mines. Scholz has already refused to supply German battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, the German tabloid BILD reported in April. (BILD is also an Axel Springer publication.)
Ukraine also asked Germany for Harpoon anti-ship missiles, a request which Germany has not granted, per the documents obtained by Welt am Sonntag.
"The information on specific arms deliveries is security-related and classified, so I ask for your understanding not to be able to provide more detailed information or confirm details," a spokesperson for Germany's Ministry of Defense told the newspaper.
The Germany's Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The report came three days after Putin warned Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron sending arms to Ukraine.
In a phone call between the three leaders on Saturday, Putin said that continuing arms supplies to Ukraine would risk "further destabilization of the situation," according to Die Welt.
In response, Scholz and Macron asked the Russian leader to hold "serious" talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Die Welt reported.
Scholz has faced harsh criticism for his hesitant response to the conflict in Ukraine. Although he has publicly voiced his support for the country, he has also held back on approving the transfer of heavy weapons
As Ukraine nears the 100-day mark since the start of the Russian invasion, it has continued asking Western allies for support to defend itself in the easter Donbas region, which is currently under heavy attack.
