Germany is nearing an agreement to unlock €3 billion ($3.3 billion) of military aid for Ukraine, alongside a broader set of measures to revamp the country’s defense and infrastructure.
The authorization is likely to come in the weeks ahead as Germany seeks to change constitutional borrowing rules to boost its military spending. The additional funding would almost double aid this year to €7 billion.
