The total includes civilian expenditures and defense contracts spanning future periods
The German Federal Government has provided or committed nearly €101 billion in support to Ukraine since February 24, 2022. This total volume of civilian and military assistance was recorded as of the end of June 2026. This was reported by Ukrinform, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
Total financial aid consists of two main segments. Approximately €43.3 billion was allocated for civilian needs, while military support, covering both delivered equipment and funds for future supplies, accounts for €57.6 billion.
Methodology of government calculations
The statistical data from the Berlin government also accounts for expenses related to hosting Ukrainian citizens currently residing in Germany. The military section of the report does not represent solely realized shipments, as it includes investments planned for subsequent budget years.
The German government officially stated that maintaining stable support for Ukraine is a strategic investment in its own security. According to officials, the consequences of a possible Russian military victory over Ukraine would entail significantly higher costs for European security architecture.
Using excess profits from Russian assets
A separate line in the report highlights procurement for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, funded by revenues from frozen assets of the Russian central bank. In 2024, this stream provided €100 million, and in 2025, the amount increased to €217.5 million.
These funds are integrated into the federal budget of Germany as targeted revenue. They are fully utilized for financing additional expenditures required to implement defense projects for the Ukrainian side.
Financial oversight and procedures
The procurement mechanism stipulates that Ukrainian agencies independently select required products and contractors. The German government does not act as a direct signatory to contracts but ensures financial coverage only after thorough economic and technical vetting.
Payments are made directly to the manufacturing companies based on contractual milestones. Each payment is confirmed by goods delivery or service acceptance reports, which are subject to regular audits by German oversight bodies.
The government added that internal audits regarding the use of allocated resources, including programs for Ukrainian veterans, revealed no significant deficiencies. All projects reviewed meet the stated objectives and effectiveness standards.
