The German government will stop new military aid to Ukraine as part of
the ruling coalition's plan to reduce spending, the Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reported on Saturday.

Germany and other G7 countries in June struck a preliminary deal to
use the value of some $300 billion of Russia's sovereign assets
immobilized in Western financial institutions to secure a $50 billion
loan to Ukraine. But governments have yet to agree on the details of
the scheme, and technical talks might drag on for months.

The compromise seen by POLITICO detailed plans to slash future
assistance to Ukraine by half to 4 E-billion to fulfill other spending
priorities.

Ah yes.. that rings a bell. I read somewhere that since there was a bigger deal on the table, germany would use that as an excuse to contribute less.
Will be fun to see if germany will sink beneath the extreme left and extreme right wihtin the next 5-10 years or so, given that fact that current politicians have so severely mismanaged the country so as to push people to the extremes.
