Germany is the second country in Europe that has provided the largest military aid to Ukraine.
In a united response to Russia's war on Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, EU (European Union) Member States agreed to supply Ukraine with military equipment, including equipment designed to deliver lethal force.
As of 16 May 2022, European Member States had agreed to make available €1.5 billion through the European Peace Facility (EPF) to fund assistance measures aimed at supporting the capabilities and resilience of the Ukrainian armed forces.
A further €500 million in assistance was proposed on 13 May 2022 and is likely to be adopted very soon, bringing the amount up to €2 billion. Accordingly, the EPF will pay for some of the equipment Member States have provided or will provide to Ukraine. This is a first in the EU's history, which has never jointly financed the provision of weapons to a third country.
Today, Germany is the second country in Europe that has supplied the largest military aid to Ukraine, with a total of 1,342 weapon systems delivered to the Ukrainian armed forces, behind Poland which has provided 1,470 pieces of military equipment
