European allies have pledged €21 billion ($24 billion) in new military aid to Ukraine, calling 2025 a “critical year” in the war.
Over half—€11 billion—will come from Germany, focusing on artillery, tanks, and air defense.
The UK and Norway added £450 million to fund drones, radar, and repairs, part of a larger £4.5 billion British commitment.
Air defenses were a key focus, with Russia launching 10,000 glide bombs and 100 drones daily.
At a NATO meeting, 50 nations reaffirmed support as the U.S. played a more limited role under Trump, the Associated Press has reported.
Ukraine’s defense minister thanked Europe for taking the lead in aid.
