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.

        People don’t make dismissive comments when they aren’t upset. Also, you didn’t mention anything about how it was spent. An 3 billion euro toilet seat would be a waste.
