Germany Approves €3 Billion Military Aid Package for Ukraine

The funding addresses Ukraine's urgent defense needs against Russian advances, with final Bundestag approval expected Friday.

The German Federal Ministry of Finance has authorized €3 billion in military aid for Ukraine, citing its deteriorating military position and increased Russian territorial gains since summer 2024.
The aid includes €2.55 billion in over-budget spending and €450 million from the European Peace Facility's refinancing mechanism.
An additional €8.25 billion in commitments for 2026–2029 has been proposed to ensure continued military support for Ukraine.
The package prioritizes air defense systems, drones, armored vehicles, and artillery, with some deliveries expected later this year.
A small portion of the aid will bolster Moldova's security forces, reflecting Germany's concerns about regional stability.
