Germany is Europe’s biggest supplier of weapons to Ukraine, second only to the United States in the world. It has spent approximately 28 billion euros on military support for Ukraine. In 2025, it plans to allocate around four billion euros to support Ukraine, or half as much as it spent in 2024. However, the 2025 budget has not yet been approved by parliament.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that weapons supplies to Kiev will not change the situation on the battlefield but will only protract the conflict.
