The Budget Committee of the Bundestag has approved an additional military aid package for Ukraine, totaling 11.3 billion over the next few years, due to political disagreements and the collapse of the coalition government. This funding, which includes advanced military equipment such as Iris-T air defense systems and combat vehicles, is significant as Germany has been a major supplier of military aid to Ukraine since the onset of the war. The approval reflects Germany's commitment to supporting Ukraine amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in Europe.
The Budget Committee of the Bundestag approved 3 billion in military aid for Ukraine in 2025 and 8.3 billion from 2026 to 2029.
The additional funds for military support were on hold due to previous political disagreements that led to the coalition government's collapse.
A spokesman for Defense Minister Boris Pistorius detailed that the package will include Iris-T air defense systems, combat vehicles, and light weapons.
Greens MP Britta Hasselmann described the release of funds as a crucial signal to Ukraine that is essential for peace and security in Europe.
