German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has blocked a new package of military assistance for Ukraine, which was promoted by Foreign and Defense ministers Annalena Berbok and Boris Pistorius. This was reported on January 9 by Der Spiegel.
It is specified that the ministers wanted to provide new assistance to Kiev in the amount of € 3 billion before the Bundestag elections scheduled for February 23.
According to the interlocutors, the Ministry of Defense even prepared a list of weapons, which included three more IRIS-T air defense systems, including shells, missiles for the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, 10 howitzers and ammunition.
The magazine also reports that in response to the initiative, Scholz's office said that the 2025 budget already provides sufficient funds to help Kiev. In addition, they do not want to put the new German government in front of a fait accompli.
