Germany, which overcame its initial reluctance to support Ukraine to become the country’s biggest European supplier of military aid, looks poised to change course as the finance minister said the government would slash future assistance by half in order to fulfill other spending priorities.
That appeared to be Berlin’s unequivocal message to Ukraine on Wednesday as the government detailed its preliminary 2025 budget, in which military aid to Ukraine is slated to be cut by half to just €4 billion, according to a draft seen by POLITICO.
Well on the bright side, Japan just got a 3 billion dollar loan for Ukraine.
Country is at the height of needing aid but free money dried up. Now Ukraine can start loaning money!
What’s that? We’re saddling Ukraine in debt they can never repay? Well guess they can accept an IMF deal and make Ukraine hand over their entire country for cheap. Almost looks like one of those Neocolonial IMF extortion deals we keep saddling African countries with haha ignore that.
