Original: Ukraine war briefing: Germany’s Merz pledges €1bn in military aid to Kyiv as Russia ramps up attacks
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pledged €1bn in additional military aid to Kyiv, announced amid an escalation in Russian attacks on Ukraine. The pledge makes Germany one of Ukraine's most significant European backers as the war continues. Commentators are watching how the funding will be used, with air defence and ammunition expected to be priorities given the intensifying Russian strikes.
Why now: Russia's intensified attacks on Ukraine are putting pressure on Western allies to increase military support.
