German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced this at a joint press conference with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha in Kyiv, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“Germany is providing an additional €50 million in humanitarian aid,” Wadephul said.

He specified that the funds would go to UN agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) providing emergency assistance to people in combat zones, particularly in frontline areas. This could include repairing homes, providing mobile sanitation facilities or supplying heating equipment.

According to the Minister, this is particularly important now, as Russia continues to attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and is doing everything possible to use winter as a weapon once again.

Wadephul stressed the importance of decentralized energy supplies. He announced that Germany is providing additional generators to Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and contributing another €10 million to NATO’s CAP fund, which, among other things, supports decentralized power supplies for the Ukrainian military, provides essential medical supplies for military hospitals and funds urgently needed counter-drone systems.

The Minister assured that people in Ukraine have Germany’s full support and that the German federal government is supporting Ukraine with all the means at its disposal. Germany is Ukraine’s strongest bilateral partner and is committed to maintaining this position.
