German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced a new $200 million defense aid package for Ukraine on December 3, 2025, ahead of a critical NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels this week. The support, outlined in a Federal Foreign Office statement, includes two equipment deliveries under NATO's Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, a framework enabling allies to fund U.S.-sourced weapons for Kyiv.
In addition to military hardware, Germany pledged €25 million ($29.1 million) to NATO's Comprehensive Assistance Package, earmarked for winter gear and medical supplies for Ukrainian troops. Wadephul emphasized the move aligns with NATO allies' strategy to intensify pressure on Russia amid ongoing regional tensions.
The aid underscores Germany's continued role as a key contributor to Ukraine's defense efforts, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2026. Analysts suggest the announcement aims to reinforce transatlantic unity ahead of high-stakes discussions on long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.
