Germany to provide additional €60 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced on August 22 that Germany would provide an additional €60 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Speaking at a joint press conference with Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha in Kyiv, Wadephul stated that the funds would primarily go to UN agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) assisting people in combat zones, particularly in frontline areas.

These funds could be used for repairing homes, providing mobile sanitation facilities, and supplying heating equipment. Wadephul emphasized the importance of decentralized energy supplies, as Russia continues to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure and seeks to use winter as a weapon. Germany is also contributing €10 million to NATO's CAP fund, which supports decentralized power supplies for the Ukrainian military, essential medical supplies for military hospitals, and counter-drone systems.

Wadephul assured that Germany stands firmly behind Ukraine, and the German federal government is supporting Ukraine with all available resources. As Germany's strongest bilateral partner, Germany is committed to maintaining this position.
