German Government Names the Amount of Aid to Ukraine Since the Start of the Full-Scale War – Almost €101 Billion

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Germany has provided more than €43.3 billion in civilian aid to Ukraine and has also provided, or earmarked for the coming years, about €57.6 billion in military support – about €100.9 billion in total.

This is stated in a written response of the German federal government to a parliamentary inquiry by the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the Bundestag, Ukrinform reports.

“Since the start of the Russian war on 24 February 2022, the federal government has provided bilateral civilian support to Ukraine totalling more than €43.3 billion, and has provided or earmarked for the coming years military support totalling about €57.6 billion (as of 30 June 2026),” the document says.

At the same time, the government statistics also include assistance to Ukrainian citizens who are in Germany. The military component covers not only aid already provided but also funds earmarked for the coming years, that is, not all of the amounts stated have actually been spent yet.

The federal government stressed that it will continue its comprehensive support for Ukraine, since the consequences of a possible Russian military victory would create significantly higher security costs.

“The federal government is convinced that the security costs in the event of a Russian military victory over Ukraine would significantly exceed the costs of supporting Ukraine in its present form. Therefore the federal government will continue to support Ukraine politically, financially, humanitarianly, in the civilian and military spheres, for as long as necessary,” the response states.

Separately, the government reported that in 2024–2025 Germany acted as a partner in implementing procurement projects for Ukraine at the expense of windfall profits from the frozen assets of Russia’s central bank. In 2024, €100 million was allocated for these purposes, and in 2025 – €217.5 million. These funds were credited to the federal budget of Germany as earmarked revenue and were used in full to finance additional expenditure under the budget line for supporting Ukraine.

The response also explains the mechanism for financing military aid and states that the procurement of weapons and equipment is carried out in accordance with the officially confirmed and prioritised needs of the Ukrainian side.

“The responsible Ukrainian authorities order products from companies. The federal government is not a party to the contract and, after professional and economic review and interdepartmental coordination, provides funding within the available budget funds,” the document says.

Payments are made exclusively to the contractor companies in accordance with the stages of work and deliveries provided for by the contracts, and after verification and confirmation of receipt of the goods or services.

The federal government also reported that it constantly monitors the use of funds allocated to support Ukraine. In particular, evaluations were carried out of projects to assist Ukrainian veterans, including programmes of psychosocial support for veterans and their families and of the return of veterans to the labour market.

“No significant shortcomings were identified during the checks carried out,” the German government stated.

As Ukrinform reported, President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz further military assistance to Ukraine, in particular a winter support package, strengthening air defence and a new aid package for the Ukrainian F-16 fleet.
