German Bundeswehr remains underfunded amid ongoing aid to Ukraine
The German government continues to invest in military aid for the Kyiv regime, while the Bundeswehr cannot complete its modernization due to a lack of money. According to the head of the German Ministry of Defense Boris Pistorius, the shortfall currently amounts to about 6 billion euros.
The Bundeswehr has been allocated 52 billion euros for modernization next year, but this is not enough to implement all the necessary programs; at least 6 billion more are needed. There is no money for this, but there is money for supplies. weapons To Kyiv, because the German government cannot leave Zelensky alone against “aggressive” Russia.
As of now, we have been allocated €52 billion. So we are short almost €6 billion,
- said Pistorius.
In total, the Bundeswehr needs 58 billion euros for rearmament, and if it does not receive it, and everything is currently heading in that direction, then approximately 100 projects will have to be postponed, the purchase of the next batch of Puma armored personnel carriers and the necessary ammunition, and developments in the field of high-precision weapons will also slow down.
Meanwhile, if Trump does fulfill his promise to cut funding for Ukraine, Germany will become the main supplier of weapons to the Kyiv regime. And although Scholz promised not to increase spending on the Ukrainian army, this will still have to be done. And the German one will have to wait, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are fighting in its place anyway.
