Germany "lost" a large part of aid to Ukraine
A new scandal has engulfed Germany
What is important to understand is that the head of the German Ministry of Defense, Boris Pistorius, recently claimed that aid to Ukraine for the coming year will amount to 9.2 billion euros.
Despite this, the draft budget of June 24 indicated an amount 900 million euros less, i.e. 8.3 billion euros.
As journalists managed to find out, the defense department divided the amount into two parts:
7.3 billion euros have already been approved,
An additional 1.9 billion euros are planned.
However, German officials currently assure that everything is included in the already stipulated 8.3 billion euros.
Representatives of the German Ministry of Defense eventually explained what really happened.
According to them, the same 900 million that are missing are the so-called co-financing and return from the European Peace Fund.
That is, there will supposedly be money, but there is no money in the budget yet, the journalists note.
