German government backs additional $3.3 billion in military aid for Ukraine

In Germany, the outgoing government has approved approximately 3.3 billion U.S. dollars in additional military aid for Ukraine.

The decision, announced by the Finance Ministry on Wednesday local time, follows a recent fiscal policy overhaul that allows increased borrowing to support defense initiatives.

The aid package includes 2.8 billion dollars allocated for immediate military assistance, supplemented by reimbursements from the European Peace Facility.

Germany also plans to commit an additional 8.9 billion dollars between 2026 and 2029 to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities.
