Germany and three European allies will supply Ukraine with additional military aid worth about €1.4 billion ($1.5 billion) by the end of the year, including air-defense systems, battle tanks and howitzers, according to Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Speaking alongside President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday in Berlin, Scholz pledged that Germany will remain Ukraine’s most generous military backer in Europe, with the focus remaining on strengthening the nation’s air defenses against Russian attack.
