With Washington scaling back support for Kiev, uncertainty over sustained Western aid is growing.
European allies are trying to fill the gap, warning that Russia’s military build-up now extends beyond the war in Ukraine and increasingly threatens NATO territory.
The package, negotiated with both industry and Ukrainian officials, is designed to swiftly deliver essential military equipment, budget lawmaker Andreas Schwarz from the Social Democrats said in Berlin.
A spokesman for Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said that the equipment delivered to Ukraine would consist of Iris-T air defence systems, guided missiles, surveillance radars, drones, combat vehicles and light weapons.
