Germany allocates record €11.5B in military aid to Ukraine for 2026

Germany provided and financed military aid to Ukraine worth approximately €500 million from January to March 2026, along with an additional €2 billion in humanitarian, financial, and economic aid. A significant portion of the funds supported Ukrainian refugees within Germany. For the full year 2026, the Merz government has allocated a record €11.5 billion for direct military support to Ukraine, the highest since the conflict began. This suggests major deliveries of heavy equipment and air defense systems are planned for the summer-autumn period.
