Germany plans to approve additional military aid to Ukraine this year in the amount of approximately 400 million euros.
This was reported by Reuters, citing a letter from the German Finance Ministry, which was obtained by the agency.
These funds are in addition to approximately 8 billion euros allocated for Ukraine in 2024. The aid will be used to purchase ammunition, combat vehicles, drones and protective equipment.
“Given the ongoing deterioration of the military situation in Ukraine, there is a serious risk that Ukraine could fail in its defense campaign without a significant increase in material support,” the letter says.
