Germany is proposing an additional €100 million (approximately $113 million) to help restore Ukraine’s water, energy and transport infrastructure and strengthen its resilience against increasingly intense Russian attacks, according to a letter from the Finance Ministry in Berlin.
The funds, which would supplement the financing allocated to Ukraine in the 2026 budget, would cover the damage caused by Russia’s aerial bombing campaign, which has intensified since the summer, according to the letter addressed to the parliamentary budget committee.
In September, the German government had already allocated €250 million to support Kyiv through the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
“This need was unforeseen, as the intensity of the conflict could not have been anticipated when the federal budget for 2026 was adopted,” the letter states. “Since July 2026, Russia has carried out increasingly frequent and intense attacks on critical and civilian infrastructure in major cities, transport routes, logistics hubs and businesses,” according to the letter.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government has been the largest European contributor to Ukraine’s support, providing billions in military aid to the government in Kyiv.
