However, DPA notes that the allocation of additional funds still requires approval by the Bundestag.
If approved, Germany’s military aid to Ukraine in 2025 will reach a record level of about €9 billion.
Pistorius arrived in Kyiv on Thursday morning for an unannounced visit to discuss further military support with Ukrainian officials.
Background: Under the previous government led by Olaf Scholz, Germany had already approved an additional €3 billion in military aid for Ukraine in 2025 and a further €8.3 billion for the years 2026-2029.
