Quote: "Since the start of Russia's war of aggression on 24 February 2022, the Federal Government has provided, or earmarked for the coming years, bilateral civilian support to Ukraine amounting to over €43.3 billion and military support amounting to approximately €57.6 billion (as of 30 June 2026)."
Details: These statistics also include assistance provided to Ukrainian citizens residing in Germany.
The military aid portion covers not only assistance already delivered but also funds earmarked for future years. This means that not all specified amounts have actually been spent yet.
Quote: "The Federal Government is convinced that the security costs in the event of a Russian military victory over Ukraine would significantly exceed the costs of supporting Ukraine in its current form. The Federal Government will therefore continue to provide Ukraine with political, financial, humanitarian, civilian and military support for as long as is necessary."
Details: Furthermore, in 2024-2025, Germany acted as an implementing partner in carrying out procurements for Ukraine funded by windfall profits from frozen Russian central bank assets. For these purposes, €100 million was allocated in 2024 and €217.5 million in 2025.
These funds were credited to Germany's federal budget as earmarked revenue and fully utilised to finance additional expenditure items under the budget line supporting Ukraine.
The Federal Government added that it continuously monitors the use of funds allocated to support Ukraine. In particular, evaluations of assistance projects were carried out on projects providing assistance to Ukrainian veterans, including programmes for the psychosocial support for veterans and their families, as well as the re-entry of veterans into the labour market. During these audits, no significant shortcomings were identified.
Background: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine has not received US$16 billion in US aid provided for under previous agreements and decisions and must seek to have it released.
