Only 10 countries fulfilled this requirement: what are the right things Trump says Dzvenislava Moshovskaya

The German budget for 2025 plans to include a smaller amount of military aid for Ukraine. Such a reduction could be a powerful argument for presidential candidate Donald Trump so that the United States also allocates less to support our state.

Germany's problems

According to Stupak, Germany has problems with expenses and revenues. There is a budget deficit that amounts to almost 17 billion euros. In his opinion, this is why aid to Ukraine was halved.

He emphasized that there are reports of the German military-industrial complex being loaded to help Ukraine. This is not happening as actively as the Ukrainians would like, but the process is underway.
