Germany Pledges $10 Billion in Ukraine Aid Despite Taurus Missile Debate

Germany pledged €9 billion ($10.4 billion) in aid to Ukraine for 2025, solidifying its role as a key supporter. This includes €1.9 billion ($2.2 billion) for joint German-Ukrainian military-industrial projects focusing on long-range weapons systems. While Germany declined to provide Taurus cruise missiles, further IRIS-T air defense systems will be delivered, with potential for Ukrainian production. This latest commitment adds to Germany’s existing €48 billion ($55.5 billion) total aid package since the war’s start.

Germany Warns of Renewed Russian Aggression Within Five Years

In a Kyiv interview, Major General Christian Freuding revealed Germany’s assessment that Russia plans to bolster its military capabilities by 2029, posing a potential threat to NATO, including Germany’s eastern neighbors. Russia’s ongoing aggression in Ukraine highlights this threat, which Freuding emphasized as the greatest to Europe. Germany is responding by supplying additional military aid, including two more IRIS-T air defense systems for Ukraine by the end of 2024, and anticipates further high-level discussions regarding Ukraine’s defense in December. This underscores Germany’s commitment to supporting Ukraine and countering the escalating Russian threat.
