Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock pledged an additional EUR 381 million ($417 million) in humanitarian aid for Ukraine in 2023 at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London on June 21.
"Germany will provide an additional 381 million euros in humanitarian aid to Ukraine, covering a broad array of needs, from generators to food and tents for those recently displaced or rendered homeless," she said.
Baerbock added that Germany will also continue its assistance with mine clearance operations in Ukraine.
So far, Germany has provided a total of EUR 16.8 billion ($18.4 billion) in aid to Ukraine, including military assistance.
