Here is an overview of the military assistance provided to Ukraine by the Federal Republic of Germany. The assistance services consist of two strands: on the one hand there are financial resources from the Federal Government’s security capacity building initiative, which are used to finance arms deliveries and other industrial materials. On the other hand, materials are being provided from the Federal Armed Forces’ supplies. Military aid worth around 28 billion euros has by now been made available by Germany or been earmarked for supporting Ukraine over the next few years.

The funds from the Federal Government’s security capacity building initiative amount to around 7.1 billion euros for 2024 alone. The German contributions to the European Union’s European Peace Facility (EPF) come from this initiative, too. EU member states can receive reimbursement for expenditure for military assistance for Ukraine from the EPC. So far, Germany has received around 31 million euros worth of compensation from the EPF. Furthermore, there are commitment appropriations ¹ for the next few years. These are currently worth about 6 billion euros.

Around 5 billion euros (2023) and 1.6 billion euros (2022) have already been spent on military assistance for Ukraine. Another 2.9 billion euros were earmarked in the first two years of the war for deliveries to be made between 2025 and 2028.

Since the start of the Russian war of aggression on 24 February 2022, Germany has provided around 5.2 billion euros worth of materials from the Federal Armed Forces’ supplies to Ukraine. In addition, more than 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers received military training in Germany. These training costs amount to about 282 million euros to date. Further expenditure, which we are not going to put a figure on here, was incurred for treating injured Ukrainian soldiers.
