The government of Germany will classify the supply of weapons to Ukraine

This is reported by  Spiegel.

As the publication writes, after three years of wide transparency, the new federal government will apparently again keep the delivery of German weapons to Ukraine largely secret.

"In the future, the German government will significantly reduce the scope of announcements about the supply of weapons systems," the publication reports.

The main goal, as specified, is "to deprive the aggressor of military advantage in the war in Ukraine." This is part of a "war strategy" aimed at reducing public debates on arms supplies.

"Thus, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s (CDU) government is returning to a practice that already existed immediately after the start of the war by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s traffic light government," journalists state.

In June 2022, under public pressure, the German government decided to publish a detailed list of all arms deliveries online. To date, all delivered weapons and their quantities are listed on the Bundeswehr’s website.

For example, it states that Germany has supplied 25 self-propelled howitzers, 121 Leopard tanks, 1,050 combat drones, and 478,000 artillery shells.

"The Scholz government wanted to prove that Germany is the largest arms supplier to Ukraine after the United States. The list was last updated on May 6, the day the new federal government was appointed," the media states.

How the Bundestag will be informed about arms supplies in the future is not yet reported. Unlike the deployment of troops, parliamentary approval is not required for this.

"However, the parliament will likely be informed about the arms deliveries at a secret meeting of the Defence Committee," journalists speculate.
