The German Ministry of Defense plans to continue to provide comprehensive support to Ukraine in the war with Russia. The Bundestag (German parliament) approved the allocation of an additional 400 million euros to provide military assistance to Kyiv in 2024.
As Day.Az reports, this was stated by the head of the working group for coordinating assistance to Kyiv at the German Ministry of Defense, Major General Christian Freuding, in an interview with the RND editorial association.
“We have just received approval from the Bundestag for an additional 400 million euros for 2024 alone. This will allow us to implement a total of 50 projects this year with a total volume of 1.4 billion euros,” the general emphasized.
Freuding also recalled that the United States promised to provide an additional 8 billion euros to help Ukraine. “For me, this is not a sign of fatigue, but rather a sign of determination,” he said, answering a question about whether Western countries are tired of the conflict.
The general assured that Germany will continue to provide full support to Kyiv. Just last week, Germany supplied Ukraine with two anti-aircraft systems IRIS-T SLM and SLS. And this year it is planned to deliver two more anti-aircraft systems, a double-digit number of infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks, as well as hundreds of thousands of artillery ammunition.
According to Freuding, Ukraine’s supply of artillery ammunition has improved, and Russia’s superiority in this area is no longer as great as in the spring – it has decreased from 8:1 to about 3:1.
