Germany Approves €11.3 Billion Military Aid Package for Ukraine

The Bundestag's decision resolves months of political debate and reinforces European security efforts as U.S. aid declines.

The Bundestag's Budget Committee approved €3 billion for 2025 and €8.3 billion for 2026-2029 to support Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression.
The aid includes advanced weaponry such as the Iris-T air defense system, drones, and surveillance radars, with deliveries expected to begin soon.
Germany's decision follows months of contentious debate over financing mechanisms, including the use of debt exceptions.
This package is part of a broader credit program addressing defense, infrastructure, and climate protection, emphasizing Germany's strategic priorities.
Since the start of Russia's invasion, Germany has provided over €44 billion in aid to Ukraine, highlighting its commitment to NATO and European stability.
