According to a draft budget agreed by the government, Germany wants to nearly cut its military funding for Ukraine next year, from approximately €8 billion (£6.7 billion; $8.7 billion) to approximately €4 billion.
The proposed aid drop is a result of worries in Ukraine and among its European allies that, should Donald Trump win the president in November, US funding may be reduced or stopped. In February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
