Germany plans to raise its military aid to Ukraine by three billion euros ($3.4 billion) next year to around 11.5 billion euros ($13.2 billion) to support its battle against Russia, the finance ministry said Tuesday.
Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil "will introduce a further three billion euros in support for Ukraine into the parliamentary budget process for 2026," a ministry spokesman told AFP.
"This includes, among other things, artillery, drones, armoured vehicles and the replacement of two Patriot systems."
The spokesman added that "Germany stands firmly by Ukraine's side and is Ukraine's biggest supporter in Europe. This applies financially, economically and militarily.
"We will continue our support for as long as it is necessary to defend against Russia's war of aggression."
