Kyiv is at risk of losing its number one weapons supplier, the United States an aid package proposed by US President Joe Biden worth $61 billion (56.6 billion) has been blocked since late last year due to a fight in Congress.
London is one of the first doors Ukraine can knock on. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak visited Kyiv and announced an unprecedented military aid package for the Ukrainian armed forces worth over $3 billion. Britain is also the first Western ally to sign a security agreement with Ukraine, ensuring long-term arms supplies. France is preparing a similar deal. But what about Berlin?
Given that Germany has the biggest economy in the European Union, shouldn't it be in the number one spot? "It should, but that doesn't mean it's ready to," German journalist Gesine Dornbluth, an author of several books on Russia, told DW on the "Geofaktor" podcast. Berlin may be proud of its second-place spot, but it's all relative, she said.
