Scandal in Germany: Nearly one billion euros 'disappeared' from aid for Ukraine, - Bild.

A real scandal has emerged in the German Ministry of Defense regarding the financing of aid to Ukraine. The newspaper Bild reported that more than 900 million euros have disappeared from the funds allocated for this purpose, causing outrage among members of the Bundestag.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius had previously stated that 9.2 billion euros would be allocated for aid to Ukraine for the coming year. However, the official draft budget shows only 8.3 billion euros. There are conflicting explanations from the ministry itself.

A source in the military agency is trying to clarify the discrepancy in funding strategy. According to the staff member, the money that 'disappeared' was intended for co-financing that is supposed to be returned from the European Peace Fund.

However, this answer has not convinced German parliamentarians. Sebastian Schaefer, a member of the 'Greens' party, expressed serious doubts about the transparency of the budget process and demands real support for Ukraine.
