German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius will present a new support package worth $770 million at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, Süddeutsche Zeitung reported on July 11.

The package reportedly includes two Patriot launchers, 24 Leopard 1A5 tanks, 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and 20,000 artillery rounds.

So far, the Ukrainian military operates at least two Patriot systems, one provided by the U.S. and another by Germany.

Berlin will also supply anti-drone systems, reconnaissance drones, and field hospital equipment, Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote.

NATO allies have convened in Vilnius for a two-day summit to discuss further aid for Ukraine and Kyiv's membership bid, among other topics.
