Berlin: Half of European Aid to Ukraine is Covered by Germany

German Finance Minister Christian Lindner revealed that "Berlin covers 50% of the EU aid allocated to Kyiv," calling on Europe to share the support in light of rising energy costs following sanctions against Russia and inflation. Lindner stated, "So far, Germany pays half of the EU’s aid to Ukraine. We bear this responsibility because we understand its importance." He called for a shared support for Ukraine and acknowledged that the sanctions imposed on Russia have driven up oil and gas prices, noting that the German economy is facing significant difficulties due to the situation in the United States, inflation in China, and rising interest rates.
