RT @deaidua: Unbelievable. According to FAZ research, Germany's Minister of Finance, with the support of the Chancellor, ordered a freeze on additional military aid to #Ukraine. No money for the next few years; only aid that has already been announced is allowed to be financed and delivered.

In a letter obtained by the FAZ, Germany's Finance Minister Christian Lindner describes that the Ukraine aid is to be financed via the $50 billion package recently agreed by the G7, which is covered by the interest on frozen Russian assets. This is (unfortunately) not the first time we have heard about this.

One source reports that, for example, an available IRIS-T fire unit could not be financed recently because the lockdown was already in effect. Diehl Defence was able to offer a fire unit immediately after the devastating Russian bomb attack on a children's hos...

RT @deaidua: Important: A second update on the planned German military assistance to #Ukraine in 2025 and the following years. After receiving additional info from a spokesperson for the German Ministry of Finance, I must correct myself and apologise to you.

In earlier tweets (I have now deleted them to not further spread misinfo) I gave the impression that from 2025 all the bilateral military assistance would be provided via the G7 loan totalling as much as €50 billion, which will be financed by the interest from the frozen Russian assets.

Following the clarification from the Ministry of Finance after my enquiry, I can now say that I was wrong and that the €4 billion currently earmarked for military assistance will come from our own budget and that they plan to use the G7 loan “only” for additional military assistance.

In other words, Germany will continue to pay for its bilateral assistance itself! Of course, this does not change the fact that, at least as things stand right now, €3 billion less will be invested in Ukraine's defence next year than in 2024.

However, as we all know, and I previously reported, the parliament still needs to look over the draft budget, may well negotiate and add a couple of billion euros in military assistance, just as they did in 2023 for the 2024 budget.

However, if no additional money is approved by parliament, it remains the case that Ukraine doesn't get additional (not yet announced) military equipment without the G7 loan or a different country financing German-made equipment, as the entire budget has already been bound for next year.

Interestingly, I was told that €4 billion had also been earmarked in the budget for 2026. The FAZ report, on the other hand, spoke of €3 billion for 2026.

Material that has already been announced by the German government will continue to be delivered. So the situation is nowhere near as bad as I understood it to be and passed on to you.

I can only apologise once again at this point. Reporting misinfo to you is, of course, not my ambition.

However, because I still try to obtain the relevant information behind the scenes and that I apologise publicly, I believe that this shows that there was no malicious intent behind it and that I “only” misinterpreted the publicly available information.

Thank you for your attention and sorry once again.
