Germany to allocate €200 million in winter aid for Ukraine
The German government will allocate an additional €200 million to provide humanitarian and infrastructure aid to Ukraine during the winter period.
Operativ Media reports that this was announced in a joint statement by Germany's Foreign Ministry and the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The funds will be used to ensure the operation of electricity, heating, and water supply systems in Ukrainian cities, as well as to meet the population's essential needs. The Budget Committee of the German Bundestag has approved the allocation of these funds.
Part of the funding will go toward supporting schools, kindergartens, agriculture, and civil defense services.
The German Foreign Ministry will focus on providing humanitarian assistance to residents of frontline areas, internally displaced persons, and refugees taking shelter in neighboring countries, including Moldova, as well as preparing urban infrastructure for winter.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that Berlin will continue its humanitarian support for Kyiv.
Germany is Ukraine's largest donor. Since February 24, 2022, Berlin has provided approximately €43.3 billion in humanitarian assistance and €57.6 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
