Ukrainian troops will soon complete their training on using Panzerhaubitze 2000s, and “the first howitzers will be delivered,” German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said. In May Germany announced it would send seven Pazerhaubitze 2000s to Ukraine.

So far, not a single German heavy weapon has been sent to Ukraine since the large-scale Russian invasion began.
