Summary
Germany’s Bundestag Budget Committee approved an additional €3 billion in military aid for Ukraine, on top of the €4 billion already planned for 2025, with another €8.3 billion pledged from 2026-2029.
The aid includes Iris-T air defense systems, guided missiles, radars, drones, and combat vehicles.
The package was delayed by political disagreements that led to the coalition government’s collapse.
As the U.S. scales back support, Germany’s commitment reassures Ukraine, with President Zelenskyy expressing gratitude and calling it crucial for Ukraine’s long-term security.
Welcome to our world here in America, where our citizens regularly die waiting for care in emergency rooms so we can make war profiteers richer with money they’ll never actually live to spend.
