Merz Receives Zelensky In Berlin As Germany Reaffirms $64 BN Military Commitment To Ukraine | VERTEX

Описание: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with full military honours at the Berlin chancellery on Tuesday, marking the start of high-level German-Ukrainian government consultations. The ceremonial reception underscored the depth of the bilateral relationship at a critical moment in the war, with Germany firmly established as Europe's single largest contributor of military aid to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
Germany has provided approximately 55 billion euros — roughly $64 billion — in military assistance to Ukraine over the past four years, a commitment that dwarfs the contributions of any other European nation. Berlin has shown no sign of reducing that support, having allocated a further 11.5 billion euros to Ukraine in its 2026 budget alone. The figures position Germany not merely as a financial backer but as the backbone of Europe's collective effort to sustain Ukraine's defence against Russian aggression.
Tuesday's consultations come at a moment of acute pressure on European allies to define their long-term commitments to Kyiv, particularly as the Iran war dominates global attention and strains Western diplomatic and military resources simultaneously. Merz's decision to receive Zelenskyy with full military honours sends a deliberate political signal — that Berlin's support for Ukraine remains unconditional, visible and anchored at the highest level of government.
