Ukraine will receive 74% of allocated funds from Germany and will remain the main recipient country of German arms exports.
What is known about the approval of arms exports to Germany
According to preliminary data, in the first quarter of 2024, permits were issued for the final export of weapons worth about €5.2 billion.
Of these, €3.85 billion were allocated for military weapons and €1.4 billion for other weapons. Ukraine was the leading recipient country, and the export of arms worth about 3.8 billion euros was approved.
Ukraine still accounts for 74% of the total cost of allocations for the first quarter of 2024, and Ukraine remains the main recipient country of German arms exports, State Secretary Sven Giegold said.
The state secretary also announced Germany's support for Ukraine.
The figures reflect Germany's continuous and far-reaching support for Ukraine in its self-defense against Russia's war of aggression, which is contrary to international law, Giegold said.
Aid to Germany to Ukraine
Germany helps Ukraine not only financially but also with technology. Thus, the country provided Leopard tanks, IRIS-T and Patriot air defence systems, cars, drones and artillery.
Earlier, Germany sent another Patriot system to Ukraine and proposed to allocate €5 billion of aid to Ukraine annually.
