The German Budget Committee approved an additional military aid of 3 billion euros at a time when Ukraine's military situation has become more difficult. Foreign Minister Baerbock emphasized that this step will play a critical role in Europe's security.
The German Budget Committee has approved an additional military aid package of 3 billion euros for Ukraine. In response to the rapprochement between the United States and Russia, Europe is increasing its support for Ukraine. The German Budget Committee has approved an additional military aid of 3 billion euros for Ukraine. It was reported that this additional military aid includes other contributions such as reimbursements from the European Peace Facility, in addition to the 2.547 billion euros allocated by the Ministry of Finance for Ukraine this year.
This approval came after the Federal Assembly (Bundestag) and the State Representatives Assembly (Bundesrat) accepted the "plans to lift the long-standing borrowing limit" proposed by the Social Democrats in negotiations to form the next government with the conservatives led by Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz.
"UKRAINE'S MILITARY SITUATION HAS BECOME EVEN MORE DIFFICULT IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS"
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated, "It was long overdue for the parliamentary committee to approve the use of these funds, but Germany is now setting the pace for Europe in supporting Ukraine. Ukraine's military situation has become increasingly difficult in recent months."
"A STRONG UKRAINIAN ARMY WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT SECURITY FACTOR FOR EUROPE"
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed gratitude for the aid that Kiev has stated will strengthen its defense and other relevant capabilities in a statement on social media. Sybiha said, "German weapons have already saved thousands of Ukrainian lives. They will save even more in the current and coming years. A strong Ukrainian army will be the most important security factor for Ukraine and Europe in the years to come."
