Scholz's party considers additional billion-euro aid to Ukraine inappropriate before elections

Rolf Mützenich, the leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany parliamentary faction, has not supported the proposal for a new large package of military aid to Ukraine which is being put forward by the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Defence of Germany.

Source : German television news channel n-tv, as reported by European Pravda

Details : Mützenich said that Defence Minister Boris Pistorius had announced on Thursday large-scale arms supplies to Ukraine which had been planned in the previous budget.

"To commit additional budget funds through parliament shortly before the Bundestag elections and thus present the future government with a fait accompli is not in order for our democracy and can hardly be justified from a legal and political point of view," he said.

German newspaper Spiegel noted that German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Defence Minister Boris Pistorius have proposed allocating an additional €3 billion to agree on providing Ukraine with the most needed weapons before the 23 February snap elections.

Pistorius and Baerbock said this would be an important signal to Ukraine that German aid would not be reduced.

Background :

  • Nevertheless, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has not given his consent to a large new package of military aid for Ukraine.
  • Meanwhile, the media reported that Germany is preparing to provide Ukraine with significant military aid packages in the first half of 2025, including Leopard tanks, Marder infantry fighting vehicles and other weapons.
