Speaking at a regular government news conference in Berlin, Foreign Ministry spokesman Christian Wagner said Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government will provide military support for Ukraine worth €8 billion in 2024 and Berlin will continue to "campaign vigorously" for the adoption of the bigger EU aid package worth €50 billion early next year, Bloomberg reports.
"The EU will also continue its support for Ukraine, in any case," Wagner added. "The EU-26 will of course also be able to act. But I don't want to speculate now on how such support could be organized. This also requires further consultation in Brussels."
Germany expects European Union member states to pass their next Ukraine support package either way, even if Hungary should continue to block an unanimous decision, Bloomberg added.
