The federal government of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), in a written response to a parliamentary inquiry, stated that since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion on 24 February 2022 Germany has provided Ukraine with around EUR 100.9 billion in assistance. This sum includes more than EUR 43.3 billion of civilian aid and about EUR 57.6 billion of military support (as of 30 June 2026).
Structure of assistance and timeframes
The document notes that the civilian component also includes assistance to Ukrainian citizens residing in Germany. The military component covers both support already provided and funds allocated for upcoming years, meaning not all the amounts indicated have actually been spent.
The response quotes directly: “Since the start of the Russian war on 24 February 2022 the federal government has provided bilateral civilian support to Ukraine of more than EUR 43.3 billion, and military support of about EUR 57.6 billion has been provided or allocated for the coming years (as of 30 June 2026),” the document states.
Funding and procurement mechanism
The government explained that orders for goods are placed by the responsible Ukrainian authorities, and the federal government is not a party to the contract. After technical and economic review and interdepartmental coordination, Germany provides financing within available budgetary funds.
Payments are made only to executing companies according to contractual milestones and after verification and confirmation of receipt of goods or services. The document also states that purchases of weapons and equipment are made in line with officially confirmed and priority needs of the Ukrainian side.
Funds from frozen assets and usage checks
The government reported that in 2024-2025 Germany directed to procurements for Ukraine EUR 100 million in 2024 and EUR 217.5 million in 2025 from surplus proceeds from frozen assets of the central bank of Russia. These funds were recorded in the federal budget as earmarked revenues and were used in full for additional expenditures under the budget item for support to Ukraine.
The federal government also said it continuously checks the use of allocated funds, including evaluations of projects assisting Ukrainian veterans. “No significant deficiencies were identified during the checks conducted,” the response states.
