Germany's Support: A Game-Changer for Ukraine
Germany has emerged as the second-largest military supporter of Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict, contributing approximately $11.4 billion in military aid. In mid-November, German Chancellor Olaf Schultz met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking a rare appearance of a leading Western power's head in talks with the Kremlin. During their hour-long meeting, Schultz firmly called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. However, with Putin reiterating his unacceptable demands, Germany responded not with words, but with action, announcing a robust new aid package for Ukraine.
