Germany plans to reduce its military aid to Ukraine by fifty percent in 2025, according to a parliamentary source. The government, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, will rely on funds from frozen Russian assets rather than increasing the aid budget. This year's aid totaled eight billion euros, but next year's budget allocates four billion euros. The decision aligns with a financial strategy involving the G7 and EU to use Russian assets for Ukraine's support. The budget still faces discussions, with additional spending possible on a case-by-case basis.
