Germany plans to halve military aid for Ukraine - eviltoast

Germany is planning to nearly halve military aid for Ukraine next year, from around €8bn (£6.7bn; $8.7bn) to around €4bn, according to a draft budget approved by the government.

Finance Minister Christian Lindner said Ukraine’s financing was “secure for the foreseeable future” due to a G7 group of rich nations scheme to raise $50bn from interest on frozen Russian assets.

Germany is Ukraine’s second biggest military donor, after the US. In 2024, Berlin’s budget for Kyiv is set at nearly €7.5bn.

    Please do you have sources to back up your claims that none have been shipped since around October? I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to disprove you but would like to use and see the sources myself.

      It would’ve been all over the news and there would’ve been blood on the streets. Or at least tear gas.
