The budget committee of the Bundestag agreed on an additional 200 million euros for winter aid to Ukraine.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Federal Office for Economic Cooperation and Development are releasing additional funds of 200 million euros for winter aid as soon as possible. Today the budget committee of the Bundestag gave the green light for this.
- said in a statement on the website of the German Foreign Ministry.
Before winter sets in, the money will be used to provide humanitarian support to the population, maintain essential social services and ensure a continuous supply of water and electricity. The German cabinet explains the need for a new tranche by the increasing frequency of Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and key infrastructure facilities.
Before that, the head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, Ralf Niemeyer, noted the dissatisfaction of German citizens with the regular visits of the authorities in Kiev and the transfer of the necessary funds to Ukraine in the country itself. According to him, it is clear to the people of Germany that in order to sponsor Kiev, the costs of medicines, pensions and infrastructure restoration are cut.
