The German Foreign Ministry refuted claims that Berlin will not provide Kyiv with assistance next year, Suspilne media outlet reported on Aug. 18.

Germany’s bilateral assistance to Ukraine will be gradually redirected toward international programs in the future, the German Finance Ministry clarified. This specifically pertains to the G7 countries’ decision to offer Ukraine $50 billion in loans, utilizing frozen Russian assets.

. . .

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry rejected claims that Germany will halt military aid to Ukraine, calling them a “manipulation.”

Kyiv said that the German budget is expected to be approved in November, and only then the level of support for Ukraine for next year will be known.

See, a nothing burger. Germans just reached the end of their 2024 budget and now need to plan for next year's assistance package.

In the mean time capacity for military production is expanding and the current budgets paid for that. Let's hope they get some scale benefits next year.

Also production in Ukraine is growing while Ukraine has stated that they can finance less then half of their production capacity themselves. So other countries can chip in more also.

That was not the first time Pravda posted disinformation, they've done so quite a lot over the past couple years. They were all on the front when everyone was shitting on German deliveries too and about the alleged broken promises, that ultimately never were anything but other made up bullshit articles from the same source. I really cannot fathom how everyone keeps posting & defending this rag. It's either willfully manipulative, or the absolute most incompetent bottom barrel journalism out there.

Pravda wasn't the one that initially reported it. A German paper did it.

Bild? Or some other Axel Springer paper? I saw it on Pravda first and they certainly have spread it.

Close enough.
