Germany has unveiled a new military aid package for Ukraine, reinforcing its support in the war against Russia.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine during a meeting of the Ukraine Contact Group in Brussels.
Pistorius said Germany will provide an additional €3 billion in military aid this year, along with €8 billion pledged through 2029 to bolster Ukraine's armed forces.
The package includes four IRIS-T air defense systems with 300 guided missiles, 100,000 rounds of artillery ammunition, 300 reconnaissance drones, 25 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, 15 Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks, 120 Manpads ground-based air defense systems, and 14 artillery systems.
Representatives from around 50 countries, part of a defense alliance with Ukraine, gathered at NATO headquarters to discuss strengthening military support for Kyiv as it continues to fight against Russia.
Germany remains one of Ukraine's leading military donors in Europe, and Berlin's latest package highlights ongoing European support for Kyiv amid growing uncertainty over U.S. commitments.
