'A Fatal Signal towards Ukraine': Criticism of Possible Cuts in Aid for Kyiv

The coalition's plans to cut aid for Ukraine have drawn criticism from SPD politician Roth and the CDU. Finance Minister Lindner has called for adherence to spending caps, while Green party leader Nouripour described the coalition as a "transitional coalition", which CDU politician Spahn sees as evidence of the Greens and FDP wanting to leave the coalition.

The Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Wüst, also criticized the coalition for its unreliability towards Ukraine. The federal government plans to provide stronger support to Ukraine in the future with interest from frozen Russian state assets.

Germany is currently providing 14 billion euros for military support to Ukraine. Concerns have been raised about the potential reduction in aid, with politicians emphasizing the need for Germany's full support for Ukraine.

The government denies reports of aid cuts and states its commitment to ongoing support. Germany plans to use interest from frozen Russian assets and a $50 billion loan package to finance Ukraine's aid.

New Coalition Dispute: 'The Traffic Light is No Longer Shining'

Germany's coalition government faces a crisis over the financing of Ukraine aid. Disputes arise over the debt brake, budget compromise, freezing of Russian assets, air defense system, and reallocation of funds for the railway. The Ministry of Defense warns of a financing gap, while the Greens and SPD criticize the FDP's provocations. The Chancellor's Office attempts to soothe tensions. Roth demands the provision of the entire frozen Russian state assets. Meanwhile, the threat of election defeats looms in state elections. The German government plans to reduce military aid for Ukraine to preserve its own finances, opting instead for a $50 billion loan to be financed from frozen Russian assets. However, it remains uncertain whether this will be implemented, as criticism from the AfD and Sahra Wagenknecht's alliance against Ukrainian aid grows. The decision is also linked to upcoming state elections in Saxony and Thuringia. The CDU and Left Party criticize the government's handling of Ukraine aid, which further intensifies the coalition crisis. The Bundeswehr, families, and economy are among the areas the coalition plans to allocate funds to. However, the mood within the coalition is strained, with the Green Party encountering limitations and unnecessary disputes.
