Yes, in total numbers Germany is the second largest donor of military aid to Ukraine after the US. In terms of fraction of GDP, there are other nations who have donated more, Poland, Bulgaria and the Baltic republics stand out here.

Being German, I didn't want to brag. 😉 But with all the legitimate criticism of a hesitant chancellor I'm a bit proud of what our government did achieve, although, of course, it could always be more. What currently worries me is Slovakia with a coalition government of far-left and far-right parties (maybe the Horseshoe Theory is real) stopping Ukraine aid, and possibly blocking or delaying EU funds for Ukraine. And of course who knows what's going to happen after the next US presidential elections is anyone's guess.

I am pretty sure Slovakia will start to bargain for EU money and use this anti-Ukrainian position as a modest coin.
And yes, Olaf Scholz made great progress in his mind! Thank you, Germany!
