Germany is intensifying its military support for Ukraine amid escalating tensions with Russia.

The German government has announced plans to deliver an additional €1.4 billion in military aid to Ukraine by the end of the year.

This package includes Marder infantry fighting vehicles, ammunition, and drones, addressing Ukraine's urgent need for military resources.

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has been a key advocate for increasing the budget, highlighting the depletion of existing funds and the necessity for further support.

The decision comes as Russia bolsters its military presence, posing a significant threat to Ukraine and potentially Moldova, as noted by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

The increased aid aims to counteract Russia's growing artillery superiority and prevent Ukraine from succumbing to Russian advances.
