German Chancellor Olaf Scholz blocked a proposal for an additional €3 billion aid package for weapons to Ukraine, according to a local media report.
The German ministries had justified the request by citing Ukraine's deteriorating military situation, compounded by doubts over continued U.S. support following Donald Trump’s election victory.
The incumbent chancellor reportedly argued that existing military aid allocations €4 billion for 2025, alongside funds from a $50 billion G7 loan financed by frozen Russian assets are sufficient.
The German Chancellor leader is said to fear alienating voters with additional arms deliveries amid a contentious election campaign season.
