On October 11, German chancellor Olaf Scholz revealed that Berlin will deliver a new military aid package worth €1.4 billion to Ukraine by the end of 2024.

During his joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelensky who is on a visit to Germany, Scholz said that his country will join forces with Belgium, Denmark, and Norway to get Ukraine air defense systems (IRIS-T), Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, howitzers, artillery installations, armored vehicles, combat drones, radars, and ammunition.

“The key component of our assistance remains air defense,” stressed Scholz, noting that Germany has already delivered a €600 million aid package that included the fifth IRIS-T SLM system, tanks, howitzers, ammunition, and drones.

The German Chancellor assured that military support for Ukraine would keep flowing in, with €4 billion already allocated in Germany’s budget for direct bilateral military assistance.
