According to the German government, From 2022, Ukraine has already received support from Berlin worth about EUR 50.5 billion, of which nearly half was spent on maintaining refugees in Germany. Klingbeil, who for the first time visited Kiev since taking the position of Vice Chancellor in May, emphasized: “Putin should not have any illusion that Germany's support for Ukraine will weaken.”
However, there is still no clear position among the ruling parties on security guarantee for Ukraine and the possible participation of German soldiers under the so -called Coalitions willing. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Johann Wadephul (CDU) appealed to maintain pressure on Moscow. – “If President Vladimir Putin thinks he can play delay, he will count” – he noted.
