Deutschland plant für 2025 Halbierung der Militärhilfe für Ukraine

July 18, 2024 - Deutschland plant die Militärhilfe für die Ukraine im nächsten Jahr zu halbieren, ungeachtet der Bedenken dass die US Unterstützung für Kiew mager ausfallen dürfte, wenn Donald Trump in das Weiße Haus zurückkehrt.

German aid to Ukraine will be cut to 4 billion euros ($4.35 billion) in 2025 from around 8 billion euros in 2024, according to a draft of the 2025 budget seen by Reuters.

Germany hopes Ukraine will be able to meet the bulk of its military needs with the $50 billion in loans from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets approved by the Group of Seven, and that funds earmarked for armaments will not be fully used.

Alarm bells rang across Europe this week after Trump picked Senator JD Vance, who opposes military aid for Ukraine and warned Europe will have to rely less on the United States to defend the continent, as his candidate for vice president, according to Reuters.
