Germany sees no reason to increase aid to Ukraine - Finance Minister

At this stage, the German authorities see no reason to increase military and financial aid to Ukraine. This was stated by German Finance Minister Christian Lindner, N-TV reports.


The minister noted that Germany is already making considerable efforts to provide support, so there are no prerequisites for increasing the volume of military and financial aid to Ukraine.


"We supply weapon systems, provide financial aid and provide protection to many Ukrainians in Germany. We are already the second largest donor to Ukraine in the world. Germany finances a good half of all aid from Europe. Currently, there are no signs that more needs to be done," Lindner said.


At the same time, the Finance Minister emphasized that Germany insists that other European countries increase their share of aid to Ukraine. 


"It cannot be that others do less because Germany does more," he explained.
