Germany slashes Ukraine funding in savings push
politico.eu

Germany, which overcame its initial reluctance to support Ukraine to become the country’s biggest European supplier of military aid, looks poised to change course as the finance minister said the government would slash future assistance by half in order to fulfill other spending priorities.

That appeared to be Berlin's unequivocal message to Ukraine on Wednesday as the government detailed its preliminary 2025 budget, in which military aid to Ukraine is slated to be cut by half to just €4 billion, according to a draft seen by POLITICO.

No. However, the FDP are basically terrorists at this point and will stop at nothing to praise the „Schwarze Null“

Don't confuse the Schuldenbremse and the Schwarze Null

At least they allow for some debt - not like the CDU that celebrated their Schwarze Null in times where Germany would've made a profit from lending money at negative rates

FDP is still a terrorist party at the moment though

Schwarze Nul

Damn it, Germans. Stop making everything in your language sound scary.

This is legitimately scary though. It haunts me in my dreams
