Germany Approves €11.25 Billion Military Aid Package for Ukraine

The aid includes advanced weaponry and long-term funding, strengthening Ukraine's defense and European security.

The Bundestag Budget Committee approved €3 billion for 2025 and €8.25 billion for 2026-2029 to support Ukraine's military needs.
The package includes air defense systems, artillery, drones, armored vehicles, and mine-clearing equipment.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude, emphasizing the aid's role in saving lives and ensuring long-term security.
Germany's commitment is partly seen as compensating for reduced U.S. support to Ukraine, reflecting shifting international dynamics.
The conflict continues with Russian airstrikes causing civilian casualties in Ukraine and Ukrainian drone strikes reported in Russia.
