The arms aid supplied to Ukraine by Germany from 2022 to 2027 is expected to amount to approximately EUR17 billion.

SOURCE: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at his big press conference on Friday, reports European Pravda

QUOTE: “We calculated that from the beginning of the war until 2027, perhaps we will spend €17 billion only on the supply of weapons that we from Germany finance for Ukraine.”

Germany provides Ukraine with the second most support after the US – also in military aid, Scholz said.
