Germany plans to allocate 9 billion euros (roughly $10.5 billion) in aid to Kyiv across 2025 and 2026.
Germany remains Kyiv's second-largest backer globally and its largest within Europe.
I have always supported Ukraine's expectation of a ceasefire before peace negotiations. This was initially an American idea, and I think it makes sense.
If you want to work properly towards a lasting and just peace, you must first stop the killings. Therefore, I believe that a ceasefire is a normal precondition for serious negotiations.
After a peace agreement is reached, Ukraine will need security guarantees. The provision of serious defense capabilities for Ukraine is the most critical guarantee.
