Hello, this is Helen Davidson to take you through the next few hours of developments. The German government says it plans to release more than a billion euros in military aid for Ukraine. On Friday the country’s finance minister, Christian Lindner, confirmed the government had decided to increase its international aid in the defence sector to €2bn, with the largest portion going to Ukraine as military aid.
The funds must mainly be used by Ukraine for military equipment purchases, the Associated Press reported.\nIt follows pressure from Ukraine - where president Zelenskiy again today pushed for more weapons from supportive states - and criticism from other EU governments for Germany’s apparent lack of weapons support to Kyiv.
