Germany’s assistance to Ukraine

Since the start of the full-scale war, Germany has allocated the largest amount of aid to Ukraine among all European countries.

In particular, Germany has provided Ukrainian forces with critically needed Patriot air defense systems capable of intercepting enemy ballistic missiles.

Meanwhile, on February 17, the German Ministry of Defense stated that it would "not shy away" from sending peacekeepers to Ukraine once the "necessary framework" has been agreed upon.
